Enid Blyton - born on Lordship Lane!

[hellosailor]

Watched that biopic last night on Enid Blyton and thought it was quite interesting. I read the books when I was little but my mum always said that Blyton was supposed to have been rather an unpleasant character- that was certainly the angle that the BBC went with last night!

Just looked up Blyton's childhood on the internet as missed the first few mins of the drama and wanted to check something and found out she was born on Lordship Lane, surprised there isn't a plaque anywhere, or is there?

There's a plaque on the building above Plough DIY.

Really! I've never noticed. East Dulwich is probably littered with blue plaques I haven't noticed!

This is the Plaque in Lordship Lane

Does anyone know how I can find out where Court Lane Gardens is?

Ah, I nearly went for that.

Nice.
