That's nothing. Bellenden Road has - in all seriousness - been previously described as "The French Quarter" by estate agents.

Though there is a local history of Huguenot French cloth workers in the area, hence some of the French street names and French surnames in the ?dissenters corner? of Nunhead cemetery. The Belham named their classes after types of cloth as a nod to the local history.

Edited to add - calling it the French quarter is still of course ridiculous.

Anyway after 18 months of French on Duolingo I'm sure I can cope with the French Quarter.

[KidKruger]

Where?s the ?dissenter?s corner? in Nunhead cemetery.

[ken78]

this has gone from nunhead peckham village to the French Quarter and dissenter?s corner only want to know if NUNHEAD is peckham and is it a VILLAGE looks like know one knows

[DulwichFox]

Basically a Village by definition is a community with a Central Ecclesiastical Center. (a main Church)

A congregational centre... for people to meet.

Also a Pub (The Pub) ... A 'Village' shop.. Not a chain..

Back in the Day a Blacksmith..

Is there something wrong with your phone/computer Foxle?

Keeps throwing up odd bold type

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

I think the more interesting question is whether Peckham is part of Nunhead.

You seem to have a riskily short memory.

If you look at old maps turn of century 1890s Peckham rye, by Rye Hill Park over to the the cemetery

were known as the Newlands, I have heard Bellenden road refered to as Peckham village.

But as a kid, living in what now is Nunhead it was Peckham, Nunhead village was Nunhead green.

I think names to tempt new buyers, and Peckham had a bad name

5 Years ago the Brexit vote had just happened and Theresa May was just starting out as Prime Minister.

It's a lifetime.

I was told by one of the Friends of Nunhead Cemetery people that it is the Western corner that runs along Linden Grove. It starts at the Scottish Martyrs memorial and is where the non Anglicans (e.g. Methodists and other non-conformists) including my great-great-grandparents are buried.
