More lordship lane shop news (tyre shop & Jerk Rock)

[Tanza]

The tyre shop (corner of Bawdale Road and Lordship Lane) is closing. They mentioned that the shop in the same row - the old Jerk Rock will be a new clothes shop run by Mrs Robinson, the shop opposite on Lordship lane.

I like the tyre shop. It's got a great used look to it. Why can't it be the vile chicken and pizza shops?

[Nero]

I like the look of the old tyre shop too. I was just remarking on it last night. I don't really want a dress shop, but I am neither a woman nor a transvestite. Nero

I hear that the landlord who has bought up that particular row of shops (all the ones repainted white)has put the rents up so it will be interesting to see how the other shops in that row fare. Can't recall what the other shops there are though. Is there a florist there??

[Asset]

there is a florist

I would like a shop that sells PC hardware so that I don't have to spend ages on a bus to Catford or the Old Kent Road.

[mamafeelgood]

good point, a basic p.c. / mac shop would be most helpful. i like the tyre shop too, wonder what that will be transformed into? a luxury buscuit boutique?

[kford]

A luxury biscuit boutique selling PC peripherals.

hey it's lifestyle shopping for the modern east dulwich resident "and would you like a hard drive with that free trade organic macaroon sir?"

[Ultraconsultancy]

a few years ago two lady friends of mine, who would nowadys be called empty-nesters, fancied opening a shop. they couldn't agree whose busines plan was most likely to succeed; and they couldn't each afford the rent on a wee shop in a the street[which wasn't unlike a rural perthshire ED, but with more millionaires].

they decided to take a shop with two victorian bay windows, put in two rear counters, have a wall each, and split all the costs.

as far as i know the "hand made button and chocolate cake shop" is still there and is a regular stop for american bus tours of the highlands, coining it for the two golf widows.

sounds great!

i was up in 'mid town' as some forumites call it (moxons drag) and i see that the gym opposite lane cafe is coming along, it's a great building.

[kford]

In NY parlance it's at Lordship & Bassano, Midtown; AKA the Franklins Quarter.

[MadWorld74]

that's such a shame about the typre shop. I loved the look of it. Made me feel I was in rural/rustic France. I really don't want anymore damn clothes shops. Meh.

[mamafeelgood]

this is off thread but hey, i'm liking the NY speak so:

is the bottom end of ED (station side) down or up town then? or is NY parlance only applicable to LL which seems a bit nuts if that is the case as it misses out the whole stretch to the station and goose green back to the rye.

i'll assume that it's (the station) up town as we are going north. therefore i am 2nd street upper north east side, just off pytchley & vale, so (counting from pythcley) about 8 blocks away from the tyre shop??

i may start a thread about this, could be fun?

Technically, you would be in Harlem.

[mamafeelgood]

harlem sounds good to me, or brooklyn heights as we're looking down on the main drag

if people will ignore the Administrator..

Anyroad, best place to continue this conversation is here:

NY & Dulwich?

I miss Jerk Rock.. (BARELY bringing things back on topic!)

[Incitatus]

Anywhere on lordship lane is in the SoGo district that's South of Goose Green.

Moving onto LA references, I have heard the area between Dawson Heights and the Horniman often refered to as 'The Valley'.

[SeanMacGabhann]

A thread devoted to this very conversation which exists elsewhere...

A warning from the Administrator...

A cheeky mock from me...

And STILL!

Back on thread, the Tyre shop is due to close on Thursday of this week. No news of what it may become?

[bob]

Alan the tyre man has been there for 22 years but when the Bast***d landlord nearly doubeld his rent he could no longer afford to stay sad to see him go.

Nooo, I liked the tyre guy. He fixed one of my flat tyres once.

Okay they need a used guitar shop. Something that sells quality items like Martin's and Taylors.

Then I can go bankrupt.

[citizenED]

Shame that the Tyre shop is ceasing to trade - though a tyre shop right there, on the high street, right on the corner with a side road could cause an obstruction: punters often parking accross the drop-down, doing odd little bits of reverse parking onto the sidewalk. I used that guy too - would have been nice if he could have moved into one of the residential streets.
