Ianr yes I was told the same. H.M.B. The raid was witnessed by more than one person and I heard it from two that saw it. The reason for the raid is speculation until Charges are made and proved.
The reason I posted when I lived in Peckham many years ago I lived next door to a coalman who first started with a horse and cart then a lorry and I'm certain he picked up his coal from somewhere around that area. Bob S
