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.

      Fireworks

      By Azalea · Posted

      Hate people who let off loud fireworks.  We had neighbours two doors down who used to let off the extremely loud fireworks in their back garden.   This was usually, but not always, on the days around Guy Fawkes and New Year’s.  It was torture.  I felt as if I was in the middle of them and it seemed as if they were directly outside our windows. I often involuntarily screamed as they were so loud and startling.  The dog was petrified and I was worried they would crash into the house or garden. Thankfully they’ve moved and taken their firework obsession with them.  I know someone whose dog collapsed and died during a bout of neighbourly fireworks.  Many dogs and cats go missing during firework season due to trying to escape from them.

      Anyone living on Croxted Road

      By Pred02 · Posted

      Hi, We are looking at a property on Croxted Road near the Turney Road across the Garden Centre). I wanted to get people's sense on: 1. Road and train-line noise (house is on side sandwiched between street and the rail line) 2. Secondary schooling - lots of good state primaries, but I don't think there is a catchment for a good secondary The proximity to Herne Hilla and Dulwich Villages is nice as are properties on that street, but bit concerned about the above especially given required mortgage levels we might not be able to do private secondary. Thanks

      Planning application - new Underhill Rd residential development

      By Pugwash · Posted

      It is supported housing run by RNIB, None of the residents support the new build as some of them would be made homeless with no guarantee of being rehoused in suitable accommodation. The rebuild will be the destruction of a communal lounge and grounds. There is an oak tree in the grounds which is several hundred of years old and has a tree preservation order. My husband's family used to live at this address and the grounds were gifted to the RNIB by his great aunt (Doctor Grace Batten) on the grounds that the tree is never cut down.
