Long shot .. but here goes :


My late Nan's Uncle 'Edwin/Ted PERRY' had a Newsagents/Tobbacionist at 73 East Dulwich Grove from about 1926 till he died in 1952.

Business partner 'Sarah Finlayson' (from his Will).

A 'William E DOUGHTY' lived there c1948.

Also'Hector and Lilian PATTERSON' were living there after 1952 with Sarah Finlayson.

Any of the older members recall the shop?

Trying to solve a long term family mystery, nothing other than for curiosity sake.


I have the Electoral register list for some of "East Dulwich Grove" from 1948 - 1953. ODD numbers only.

If any help to anyone?

Thanks Rose.

The shop was the most Westward one in the terrace of shops immediately adjacent to Dulwich Hospital?


How about contacting the current owners to see if they will let you look at the deeds of the property where there may be some family history for you.

Just to add

My great Grandmother was living at 47 Fellbrigg Road Camberwell on 1891 Census

the only one I can find is in East Dulwich and the road appears to be still there.

Does not seem to be to far from East Dulwich Grove so I must be on the correct track!

1881 they were in Machell Road, again not too far away it appears.

Thanks.

In 1891, this would have referred to to the Borough of Camberwell, of which East Dulwich was part at that time. You will find some members of EDF, such as EDOldie, often lamenting its departure from the political map in 1965.

Hi Frisco


Thank you for the reply.

Checking the original copy of the Census you are correct.


Edwin/Ted Perry, his brother, cousin (Spencer) and at least one of Edwins sons were Public House Keepers.

Wonder if any of them ran pubs in the Dulwich area. They certainly moved around London.


Seasons greetings.

Rose

    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?
