Goose Green pond still visible in Standfords 1864 map - a nicely coloured version here:

Other water features in the area are around the gardens of Charlton House (wonder how far this is from Peckham Rye Park pond?) and near Townley Road.

Steve O - some more background on Troy Town (search within the links below for "Troy Town" - watch out, these are very large files). Your understanding seems to be correct - there is a connection to mazes, though with contrasting stories of Trojans or the Anglo-Saxon word for twist / turn.


Troy Town is not shown on this 1832 map - Troy Town would have been directly underneath "Peckham Rye Square".

But Troy Town is clearly shown on the 1864 map

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
