Hi!

7 years ago there used to be a vintage shop at the corner of one of the street crossing North crossed road. they closed down around jan/feb 2015

I think thry went online. If youknow them could you let me know if they are online? Their name maybe?

I bought Japanese whistles from the 50s from them.

Not sure but you could probably work it out using Google Street View.


If you're viewing on a PC / laptop browser, if you go to North Cross Road on Street View you can press 'See more dates' in the top right corner and choose a date around 2015. So you can figure out which shops were active at that time.

If memory serves, the shop wasn't right on the corner, it was a short way down the street on the left hand side if you are coming from North Cross Road.


I'm pretty sure it was in Fellbrigg Road. It definitely wasn't Ulverscroft Road, and there aren't any other roads on that side (I'm sure it was on that side. I bought several things there).


I knew the people's names at the time, but I can't remember them now. Sorry, I realise that's no help at all. Unless they miraculously come back to me!


I don't think they went online, as they sold off all their stock when they gave up the premises. They were giving it away by the end.

    • "Mysterious owners" 😆  If only there was a powerful search engine at our fingertips to find out such deep secrets.        
    • It's the "due to commercial reasons" line again that is vexing. Last year it seemed, although there was a similar level of objection, that the reasons were commercial - Gala didn't appear entirely prepared to run 3 more events, or more likely didn't have sufficient interest from other promoters / organisers who could 'sub-let' the site as with Brockwell Park (I believe?). This year they appeared more organised, had another year to plan & prepare, to the extent they actually had names for two of the three new events which indicated to me that they had third party promoters / organisers in place.  So yes, it does make you wonder whether the repeated level of objection, combined with the impending elections, led to the council 'advising' that maybe they shelve it again? I'm afraid I can't see the whole extension application just being a ruse to guarantee permission for the 'regular' event. Gala are a commercial venture with ambition - every festival's business plan is to expand, expand, expand, year on year on year. Gala won't give up until they have taken over the whole park for a Summer of Raves, and the mysterious owners are on their yachts counting their ££££
    • Thanks for that. Maybe forthcoming elections have stymied the 7 day request? If Labour get back in, do we think GALA will try with greater success in 2027?
    • Better late than never, same obscure reason as previously for not going ahead with the extended plan... "Due to commercial reasons, the event organisers have withdrawn their application to hold a 7- day event over two weekends. The application has been revised to request the use of Peckham Rye Park to hold a 4-day event over one bank holiday weekend with the following schedule: • Onsite: Monday 11 May 2026 • GALA: Friday 22 – Sunday 24 May • On the Rye Festival: BH Monday 25 May • Off-site Sunday 31 May 2026 This is the same event programme that was delivered in 2025."  GALA 2026 consultation findings report 1519.pdf
