The agricultural drainage ditch that some people, including Ordnance Survey in recent years, now call the Peck was significantly modified to provide features for Peckham Rye Park.


I'd like some help in finding out more about the Waterfalls to form part of a prospective 2019 publication.


So far I've only located three photographs, all from postcards.


Does anyone know the location of any photographs?


I would particulary like to find a photograph looking downsteam.


Does anyone have any information about the mechanics of controlling the waterflow?


Is there any surviving evidence of the planting of non-native waterside plants?

John, the attached 1894 snippet may be of interest. I've got the full article, which goes into the history as well, and several others of the period about the Rye and Park. There is an 1894 LCC pamphlet in the LMA catalogue, though it's said to be not in a fit condition for public access. But some plans for the development are viewable.

    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
