Thank you for these answers,will certainly use them. Many thanks helen

Another good Lambeth site: http://www(.)lambethlandmark(.)com/ The Book that Brenda mentions (and Brenda knows the area!) is available on amazon online. They also have a brief £1.99 history on there too.

There is a good website at www(.)ideal-homes(.)org(.)uk/lambeth (remove the brackets) which has photos of Lambeth streets in victorian times. I originally found it by googling the name of the street which was on my rellies marriage certificate from 1856.

Its in the same area!! Thats why I suggested you mailed Southwark Archives to see if they had books for sale or you could contatct: Minet Library 52 Knatchbull Road SE5 9QY Telephone: 020 7926 6073 Fax: 020 7926 6080

On the subject of Lambeth.... Does it make sense for someone to register a birth in Lambeth,be married in Southwark,then have a birth registered in lambeth afterwards.The lady was born in Camberwell in 1906. Are these places close? Thanks for any pointers Pam H.

If you contact Southwark Archives library (they have a website) they could give you a list of books they have for sale on the area.

Hi Helen Below is a site you might find useful (Remove the brackets) http://landmark(.)lambeth(.)gov(.)uk/default(.)asp Julie

Thanks carol.

Hi, Another good website is www. francisfrith.com it has photo's from all over England. Lambeth is under Greater London and not Surrey as I have just checked. Also I think you can buy books from this site. Carol x

Thank you very much for all your answers,i have noted all of them.Helenx

Sorry, it's not Victorian! However, in case it's of interest, it is called Lambeth 1950 - 1970 Britain in Old Photographs by Beryl Barrow. The Images of England series by Patrick Loobey are good. I have them for Balham and Tooting, and for Wandsworth. Other books about London that I would recommend are: Peter Ackroyd's London the biography and The Illustrated Mayhew's London (which can be found online, or some of it anyway). :-) Joy

I've added to your identical request on the Records Office board. nell

Thanks! i am just off to the dentist!!!!!!!! Helenx

There's a super book called (I think) On Lambeth Marsh.

My book on Lambeth is upstairs. I'll get back to you later. :-) Joy

Is there a history/ information book, on the lambeth area.{victorian} HelenxMany thanks
