PeckhamRose Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Just a little bit of research for my funeral of a lady who used to work there many years ago. Any memories would be gratefully received. The way it has been described to me thus far was as the Biba of East Dulwich! I learned it was on Lordship Lane where Foxtons now is. Thanks folks!Edited to correct its location!

solar Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Originally there was a Woolworths where Foxtons is now, then it became a Jobcentre.

PeckhamRose Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 So Woolworths occupied the site first? Hmmm. I wonder where Dominica's Bazaar was then!

nxjen Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Before it was the Job Centre, it was an Advice Centre of some sort, I never quite understood what it did.

Pugwash Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 It was more a Citizens Advice Centre and had legal advisors. I remember Woolworths as I lived in Spurling Road just around the corner. It was empty for a while before it came the advice centre.

intexasatthe moment Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I've lived here since 1951 and have racked what is left of my brains and can't recall anything .Out of interest roughly what years would the person have worked there ?

Pugwash Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 My memories of Woolworths also go back to the 1950s.If you can find a Kellys Directory for the late 1940s (should be in reference library) you can look up Lordship Lane and find all the shops/businesses listed.
