Our three sourdoughs (white sour; many seeded sour; pain de campagne) use a part-rye starter but we don't currently do a 100% rye; that's coming later in the year. Was Peckham Rye a 100% rye sourdough?

I just got the Cooper's Bakehouse bread as it was recommended here by many people(bought it in The Proud Sow in Dulwich Village). It is very good - I can honestly recommend it to everyone who - like me - was a fan of the Brick House 'Peckham Rye' loaf.


Franklins on LL used to sell bread from Brick House - might be worth for the Cooper's bakery to contact them to see if they could now take their bread instead.

Franklins announced they are now selling bread from The snapery on their instagram ... will definitely be trying some as heard its pretty good.

My yard is opposite The Snapery, they?re nice people. (they make a great chocolate brioche bun 👍🏽💥)


It?s a shame about Brickhouse, on many levels, but the product from the above people is in the same spirit of making bread that Fergus and his team created.


Well done to Franklins on supporting a SE London craft bakery (they?re based in South Bermondsey btw)

Such a shame about Brickhouse. Will really miss their Peckham Rye as well as the cafe.


Paul Rhodes in Greenwich make beautiful artisanal bread which they sell in their own shop as well as supplying to many high end restaurants and catering business I believe... I wonder if they could make an outlet in ED work? There's definitely an appetite for it (pun not intended...)


Will get to Franklins to try some Snapery Bread - always heard good things about it

It seems a shame, since they are evidently such good breadmakers, that they didn't pursue an alternative business model of solely baking in a non-retail premise (potentially much cheaper to rent) and wholesaling their bread through retail outlets - clearly both Snapery and Paul Rhodes operate a wholesale model (if with a retail one), as they did. That would have given them operational space to find appropriate (cost/ location) retail outlets whist maintaining some demand.

That's how they started out (Tyrrell Road estate). I'm sure they considered to returning to such a model. Maybe they just didn't have the heart to start again.

That makes you chuckle?.

Much as I'll miss the Brickhouse, I never really got over the loss of the antique market that used to be on the site. That one, and the one off North Cross road were some of my favourite shops to visit on weekends, but we don't have anything like that now.


I hope that by some miracle the site is able to host lots of smaller shops again.

To keep diverting the conversation down this tangent, I did cycle pass something the other day called the 'Winsor Antique Emporium' near the plough pub. I haven't been in yet, but it may be the last surviving shop of its kind round here.

Yes-I miss those shops too-much more catering to my taste and budget than the bland shops opening in the area now..sometimes it feels like the area has morphed into Fulham and become awfully bland in the process!

    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)   
    • I wouldn't be going all the way to Dobbies  just to take flowerpots! 😀 It's a very good garden centre with a wide range of well kept  plants and helpful staff, at least it was on the only occasion I've visited it, last year!
    • Why do Councils need more funding? What are they spending our money on, how efficiently are they running? are they performing an adequate service as is? Are they viewing the public with contempt, that we will continually foot larger bills to cover all and any costs? Do our counsellors do their best, for us? why are they adding this on to the residents, on top of tax already paid? Council tax is not insubstantial. The service provided is not great. I do not believe they use our money effectively.  Our CT Bill is £50 a week.
