Description
The Post Office Depot, formerly known as the Peckham Meeting House of the Society of Friends, is located on Highshore Road in Southwark. Built in 1826 and enlarged in 1843, the building is constructed of stock brick and features a low-pitched, hipped slate roof. It is two storeys high, with a simple, three-bay pedimented central section flanked by projecting one-bay wings that have curved inner returns. The ground-floor center section includes a timber Tuscan loggia. There is a double door with a moulded architrave at the center, and the windows are 20-pane sashes with glazing bars, topped with flat, gauged-brick arches. A louvred oculus is present in the tympanum. The interior has not been inspected. The Post Office Depot and the adjacent properties at Nos 7-11 (odd) are part of a group.
