Neat wind-up.


The copy of the 1799 map I gave you has a blue line that shows the Friern Manor boundary. The other side of the blue line is Buckingham Manor.


I have uploaded a scan of the relevant area of the map for those who have not seen the full map.


The offer of free copies still stands.


The matter of the SE15 post code can wait until later.

The problem with your argument is that boundaries change. By your logic, none of us live in London, because there will be a map somewhere showing it. Sorry but post codes are the modern boundaries. SE15 = Peckham.

In 1865 there was a House of Lords inquiry into the theft of Peckham Rye Common land by the Lord of The Manor. At para 3259 of the minutes is corroboration of the map details.


A comparison of the map scan with a modern map shows how much land was stolen, described as "small encroachments" at para 3274.


We also have the matter of leaseholders' gravel extraction rights. It's good to get a another confirmation that the Lambeth Group underlies the common and not London Clay.


[bTW there is nothing in subsequent legislation to suggest that the leaseholders' mineral rights were extinguished]


The matter of the SE15 post code can wait until later.

I understand your argument that Nunhead ceased to exist in 1917 when it was allocated a SE15 post code.

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
