Renaming of Peckham Rye

[ED2013]

What are people thoughts on the renaming of Peckham Rye common, there have been so many lovley improvements and its now one of the best parks in London.

A new start deserves a new name! East Dulwich Gardens would be nice?

Its been done before in other areas before http://lewisham-consult.objective.co.uk/portal/customer_services/e/consultation_on_the_proposed_renaming_of_manor_park?tab=info

Yawn. Good troll attempt tho.

It's been Peckham Rye since I was a little girl.

Why rename it??

It come under Peckham not Dulwich anyway.

What is it with people leave alone.

[Chillaxed]

Yes, decent effort at trolling. Still a sad, sad thing to do though.

The "Lady Gardens" would be funnier.

I vote for 'Mingely Fields' or 'Foxton Downs'

it could have a bridge for trolls to go underneath it!

Why? The Peckham residents might not want it to change.

Hi Well said Ridgley. We are forever having to defend our Common and its protected status as an ancient unenclosed space. Now we have to defend its name! East Dulwich hands off our Common!

Oh for the love of god.

Rename the football pitches along Colyton Road "Homestall Farm Fields" :)

[northlondoner]

Depends on your view of the area.

Options according to scenario 1:

Asbo Acres

Gunshot Gardens

Pitbull Park

Options according to scenario 2:

Mocachino Manor

Guardian Gardens

Vegan Village

Just saying, like.

Type SE15 in here, and see what happens. BBC social cleansing.

Half of the SE postcodes come out as East Dulwich. But who the hell is "Big Sean"?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Haven't heard much from StraferJack recently - go figure.

The problem is, by re-naming the park, 'Dulwich' etc..., would the residents of Dulwich really wish to be associated with the people of Peckham.

Renaming Peckham Rye is not going to happen..

Peckham appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as Pecheham.

Peckham Rye goes back to around 1767 or before.

It is bad enough when people change historic Pub names.

We would also need to change the name of the Station.

It would be difficult as the railway station and viaducts were built on it.

Warwick Gardens could be renamed.

I keep reading this as - the Reaming of Peckham Rye

Which is somewhat disconcerting
