computedshorty Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The Ivy House Pub.My first memory was of the Ivy House Pub in Stuart Road Nunhead 1944, we had attended our school across Peckham Rye, on the corner of Peckham Rye and Friern Road, we had heard that a Doodle Bug had destroyed the shops in Stuart Road, to my memory this area was only accessible from Peckham Rye East or from Ivydale Road behind Nunhead Station, this area was enclosed by the railway that ran alongside Brenchley Gardens, having no other road connection, there was of course the foot path under the Railway to the Crematorium, and the foot path from Linden Grove along side the Cemetery to Borland Road called the Brockley Foot Path, this rather restricted the confined area of the pub from other parts of Nunhead to be very well used except by locals.Stuart Road also was the terminating place of the 56 Tram Service.V1 Doodle Bug Flying Bomb landed atNunhead SE15 Dulwich/Camberwell area V1 Peckham Between Stuart Road and Reynolds Road17 Died at 18:27 pm 01/07/1944. This serious incident occurred when the V1 struck between Stuart and Reynolds Road. 16-36 Stuart Road and 9-17 Reynolds Road were demolished.There was a small fire. a further 50 houses were damaged by blast.We visited the bomb site of Stuart Road and Reynolds Road but the roads were blocked as this was the only way in except going around to Ivydale Road so we did not see much.My next memory was when I had left school and was sent to Stuart Road by Greenaway & Son Ltd as an Apprentice Carpenter to erect the Prefabs on the site, some of the workmen used the pub dinner time but I was too young aged fourteen. The site had already been cleared of the debris of the shops and houses so the time it took us to build the sectional Prefabs was not very long.

Sue Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Computedshorty, I'm sure the Ivy House team would be really interested in this - they are collecting local residents' stories and photos of their memories of the pub. I think they're going to display some of them when the pub re-opens.But they'll probably see your post, as they started this thread!

computedshorty Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 It might be of interest to see one of the Doodle Bug Flying Bombs that did not explode, this one could have caused the same damage as that damage that made the Stuart Road site to be vacant for Prefabs, and now the buildings of the now Priory Court.Picture Att.

h1981 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Computedshorty, I'm another Ivy House person - thanks very much for sharing your memories, extremely valuable in our quest for as much personal historical insight as we can muster. I met another long-standing Nunhead resident at the pub's recent open meeting. She told me that the pub's landlady during WWII, Mrs Rhodes, housed displaced families who'd lost their homes because of bombs (particularly I'm sure the Stuart Road/Reynolds Road bomb), in the two floors above the pub. She also told me that her father, a renowned billiard player at The Newlands Tavern, as it was then, highly recommended the pub for the black market beers that Mrs Rhodes was able to get her hands on during the war!
