Received this via email today from the organisers of the wall.....


So an update on the Peace Wall and its future ;


1 ; Firstly we are now on our second Peace wall ! Poundland replaced their window today but were so touched by the communities work that they paid for a new board to be put over the glass so that the people of Peckham could continue with a new Peace wall. The previous three boards, now all full of amazing post it notes, have been moved to Peckham Library for public display until a more permanent home/exhibition space is found for them.


2 ; Secondly, after all the coverage the council have been in touch about preserving the wall for all to see in the future and to mark the resilience of Peckham People for all to see. As i mentioned the originals are now in the library on display and the new wall is in full swing ! Currently the idea is to preserve the boards in some way and display them permanently under the arches next to Peckham library - potentially with the help of some local artists. We are keen to keep an interactive element going as well so the wall can continue to grow - any ideas regarding this please post them on the Peckham shed Facebook page or on the Peace wall itself.


3 ; Thirdly, Peckham shed would like to ask the community to continue to add to and take responsibility for the Peace Wall. As a small charity we aren't able to man the wall every day but would love for the wall to grow for as long as the community wishes it too. So, if you have any time to pop down or are passing by please ensure all the post it notes are attached properly , that people are encouraged to add their ideas/voices, that pens and post-it notes and sellotape are available. Please also feel free to advertise the wall as much as possible.

Poor ol' PR


She can make it all the way to Wales on a motorbike, but can't find the PoundLand peacewall in Peckham.



Life is so mean sometimes

Do you believe it was my post there "Lost Prince" my words was about to give them courage and inspiration

what life is all about. I had no idea where I was or how I had got there. I felt strange and I took some deep breaths. I love been there it makes a big difference when people behave different.

Is quite now, and I hope the the kids will stop as I think this give a bad impression for the country.

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
