Lambeth Walk
« on: Saturday 03 November 07 16:38 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find a photo or any information on a Baker's Shop at 71 Lambeth Walk, Lambeth, London.  It was owned by my 2 x Gt Grandfather Henry Loeber and he baked there from the late 1870's then his son took it over and I understand from my Great Grandmother that the 'Loeber' sign existed until after WW2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The street was demolished in the late 60's (I recall) in a hideous modern style. And last year one side was demolished and rebuilt yet again in a slightly less awful modern style... :-\

I know someone who had a shop there for years. I bump into him from time to time. I will ask him when I see him again (don't hold your breath - I see him 2-3 times a year!)

Thank you Hepburn, for all your searching it's really kind. I will have a look at google and check out their images.
Cheers

Meles,

Thank you - that would be great if you could ask your friend sometime.
I'm hoping he's quite elderly!  The terrace where my Gt Grandfather's shop was is still standing, a preservation committee managed to get enough support to stop the demolision of that one section, which is wonderful.

Thanks Heather, for the link and the welcome. I must admit I never expected the response - it just shows what a nice bunch Genealogists are!

Re no 71 Lambeth Walk, late 1870s
I have a map fromAlan Godfrey maps of Lambeth Walk 1872
obviously a bit before your bunch were there.
At no 71 is listed a John Honour  Hairdresser !!it was 3  doors away from the turning of Saville Place going towards Little Canterbury Place, if thats any help, dont know if you can get a later map have a look at alan godfrey maps, theyre very good. 
I got this map cos my gt grandfather worked as a potman/waiter at the Angel public house 125 lambeth walk around that time the pub is now an upmarket sports bar,but its still there !!
Hope that helps abit.
