I would be interested to have information on a Company in the 50s & 60s who were in Ossory Road called J. Mills and Sons. My Father worked there (he passed away some 31 years ago) as a Mineral Brewer I would love a photograph of the buildings from that time if there are any out there

I am currently doing a university project in architecture on Deptford. I dont live there but I have been visiting/exploring the area extensively. I need some information on which are the busiest areas (people/cars/buses etc) throughhout weekends and weekdays, peak and off-peak hours.
