Avoid cheap photocopies that are difficult to read and have poor image quality! FamLoc is the only publisher to properly republish local history books. First published in 1875 as "Ye Parish of Camerwell" (note the ancient spelling), History of the Parish of Camberwell includes Peckham, Nunhead, Dulwich, East Dulwich, part of Herne Hill, and of course Camberwell itself. This FamLoc edition has been amended slightly from the original. There has been the inevitable changes to format and structure, and the illustrations have been moved to coincide better with the text. Although some of the punctuation has been changed, particularly with respect to the many quotations, the prose has been faithfully retained, other than changes to a handful of typographical errors and the very few instances where clarity was required. The footnotes of the original have been incorporated into the new Notes chapter at the end of the book, the annotated text being underlined. History of the Parish of Camberwell vol I contains more than 500 pages, and has a wealth of interesting facts and info, including the origins of the names of streets and places, geology, parochial history, churches and chapels, population, influential individuals and families, schools, transport, charities, and much more. It will be of great interest to local historians, family historians, and others with connections to Camberwell and its surrounding area.
The work of the artists belonging to the Camden Town School and Euston Road Group is well recorded but until now, no work of substance on the many hundreds of teachers and students who flocked to Camberwell during the post-war years has been published. With the publication of Camberwell School of Arts & Crafts Geoff Hassell has produced a valuable record of a unique period in British art. Victor Pasmore, William Coldstream and John Minton were among the charismatic teachers who attracted so many talented students, including mature ex-servicemen, to study at Camberwell. Many of the painters to emerge from this fertile period have since become household names, such as Terry Frost, Anthony Eyton and Euan Uglow. Many have yet to be discovered and their work, painterly and decorative, characteristic and wholly redolent of the time and place, is a credit to the scope and range of the influences exerted by the School. This book provides an essential and indispensable point of reference for all collectors of 20th century British art. As well as a brief history of the School and a dictionary section, containing biographical details of over 300 pupils and teachers of the period, 'Memories of Camberwell', a selection of students' reminiscences, emphasises their enthusiasm and inspiration.
