About 1984 it closed. The blue swimming pool steps are still to be seen. If you really are interested in local history join The Peckham Society and also read John Beasley's books. They cover all these subjects and much, much more and I do not profit from advertising him or his books.

Thanks for yout help, it is much appreciated. It's just that I remembre swimming there in 1974 and in the 1050s and just thought it was a stunning pool. I couldn't believe some vandal had destroyed it. Thanks f or the info about the books, will certainly take a look.

It was not vandalised so much as Southwark Council could not afford to keep the facility open.

Big shame but there we are.

The Peckham Society is great and the magazine won an award for the best local information and news magazine in the country.

Only about ?4 a year. John Beasley is the editor.

Half the membership live out of London and it's their way of keeping in touch and remembering things as they were (not always better, of course!)

    • It's a criminal offense. CICs can't fundraise on the street - they're a less regulated form of organization and that lighter touch means you can't do certain things until you commit to greater regulation.   If you want to fundraise on the street then you need to become a charity. if they have mislead a shop by stating that they are a charity, they're breaking criminal law. if they're on the pavement, again they are not licensed to do that and are breaking the law.  
    • Excellent, I hope so!
    • It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive... That's correct. Some agents have policies in place to 'discourage' gazundering and gazumping, but ultimately it comes down to the morals of the buyer...
    • The owner may not be on this forum. Maybe you should let the police know you have it, in case the owner has reported it as stolen? Also, are you sure the owner hadn't just left it there temporarily while going into their house, or putting their bike away or getting it out? What street was it in?
