aha Eileen! Now I see my confusion. I had glimpsed 'the spike' surplus scheme with the workhouse behind it and thought they were the same and had access though those gates onto the railway line. Has the workhouse building always been flats then?

I have just discovered the Bussey! What an amazing space. I had no idea it had a theatre space and a cafe! If the Waiting Room was used for theatre it would be wonderful. Ive just found the old spike too! I had glimpsed it through the hoardings on Consort Road but had no idea it was actually on a proper road and accessable- now developed into flats- such an awesome building completely unknown to me during its 'alternative arts' incarnation as a squat, even though I'd lived within a mile of it for ten years. Peckham also has the oldest/longest surviving high street of original buildings in London as the English Heritage paper records in great detail. On Peckham High Street, seeing a chippy/loan shop topped by two topsy turvy seventeenth century houses is a sight for sore eyes. ANywhere else it would be listed, restored, protected.

I live off Bellenden road and love it. I already use Barstory and local pubs so I would use the new station square. It can be a relief from getting your shins bashed by bugaboos in lordship lane. For those who mock Peckham, look at Hackney. Even the shithole bits like Lower Clapton that in the eightees you wouldnt deign to walk down without a bodyguard are now denizens of charm without the fantastic transport links of Peckham. Yup, Rye Lane is a bit of a mess, but so was Ridley Road. and we like pigs.

fantastic! I hope we won't have to wait too long for the results.

police incident tape half way down on both sides but then gone a couple of hours later.

Oh it all sees to be over now.

spotted walking along East Dulwich Road by Goose Green last night, two of the 'cast' of Made In Chelsea.

computedshorty, can we get you anything?

It was hell driving down Lordship lane last night, really scarey. Tommorow our German exchange student returns home and I have to get him to a waiting coach at his school. I expect the coach wont be there and the school will be closed. I expect Eurostar will have stopped working. My first problem is to actually drive the car to the school. I had to abandon it last night in a better used local road. Last year our road was never gritted and my car was stuck in its parking place for two weeks until the thaw. I could attempt to get him direclty to St Pancras by train, but we know the trains wont be working, dont we. Meanwhile the student comes from a place that is fifteen below freezing and yet full functioning. He must think we are all idiots.

Yes I googled and read that report Intexas and Peckham High Street and Rye Lane have the most surviving original buildings behind the shops than any other high street In Britain. It was a fascinating document, detailing the chronological erection of the buildings often in pairs or quartets by different builders. For instance, down the Co-operative Flats end and on the otherside of the road is a quartet of buildings with oriental influence, at a time when the public were engrossed with exotic images of 'empire'. I never noticed it till I read the report. Now I can't go up Rye Lane without seeking out all the amazing buildings tucked behind the prefab shopfronts.

Ive had this problem amybe three times in all, we are just over the border in SE15 Nutbrook Street. Last Happened when a lot of building/development activity was happening in the street,not necessarily connected- about a month ago, We now have our milk put inside the garden wall, invisible from street.

I believe PECKHAM ROSE who is on this forum is a humanist celebrant.

Celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson ?

Otta- a couple of years now, since Askes absorbed a local primary school which is now known as Askes Temple Grove and is temporarily on the upper school site.

was it bellenden road or an adjoining road? we had two men wanting to go through our house to remove our neighbours back scaffoldilng- neighbours were at work and the guys didnt have their number. Our Neighbours do have back scaffolding but these two were well dodgy.

did we get an answer on when the bin men will come after the strike? we are awash with rubbish and kitchen waste.

actually I certainly agree with New Mother re things like credit cards. If you find them, hand them straight in to bank or police. You can always put a note on the forum that you have done so.

if you ever use boarding kennels the jabs have to be up to date with paper proof of it.

dumped by a mugger who has removed the wallet?

despicable. Will keep an eye out for her on our walks.

what about those interwar flats opposite side of the bookshop but a bit further towards ed...arent they called dekker something?

Ive had blue one removed and have two boxes and a bag for paper. Still awaiting slim green bin. But it looks much better.

really? this could be so as I was away that middle week so didnt see collection.....but now rubbish and kitchen on two different days of same week? it is very confusing.

This week our rubbish and our kitchen waste was collected but not our bottles, cans or paper. So now it's well over two weeks since the last collection. Is there a strike?
