Louisa Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Came across this wonderful British History website which contains some wonderful first hand accounts of the local area between 100 and 500 years ago. If anyone remembers the Heaton Arms pub standing on the edge of what is now the new co-operative building at Peckham Rye/Rye Lane, on here is a wonderful painting of "Heaton's Folly" which stood on this site a few centuries ago. Have fun reading.

Marmora Man Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 LIke the following quote from the link; "In Lordship Lane, there was, in the time of William Hone, an inn called the "Plough" ? an old-fashioned wooden structure ? on one of the windows of which was the following inscription, cut with a diamond: "March 16, 1810. Thomas Jones dined here, eat six pounds of bacon and drank nineteen pots of beer." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisa Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 *Bob* I think it's probably an odds on favourite that all those mentioned in this are probably dead ;-)Louisa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
