Online local history talk: the Grove Tavern in Dulwich, 8pm Tuesday 7 February


Recommended Posts

Join local history expert Ian Mcinnes for this illustrated talk on Dulwich's historic Grove Tavern. There has been a pub on the corner of Dulwich Common and Lordship Lane since the early 18th century and possibly earlier. Originally called the Green Man, it was known as Bew's Corner in the early 19th century and, from the 1860s, the Grove Tavern.

The existing building dates from the 1920s and this illustrated online talk will cover not only the pub buildings themselves but also the men who ran the pubs as well as some of the characters who used them.

This is an online talk, tickets are £5 and all proceeds go to Bell House educational projects. Tuesday 7 February , 8pm. For bursary places please email [email protected]. Book here: https://www.bellhouse.co.uk/events/2023/2/7/the-grove-tavern-in-dulwich-with-ian-mcinnes

    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses? 
    • confused by the question?
    • My point was in response to this:  "The idea that serving as a local councillor (including dealing with the public, internal party politics - which is always the most vicious where the stakes are lowest, and plenty of unpaid prep work) is a great pathway for careerists and moneygrabbers is utter shite. On a per hour basis you'd be far better off working at Sainsbos."   You could give up your job at sainsbury's and do a councillor's work and be very much better off. Most of these councillors earn this sort of money and still have full time jobs on the side.
