Photo of the Victory Pub (now Franklins)

Just thought I’d share this photo of the then Victory pub, now Franklins, 157 Lordship Lane. I think it must have been taken in the mid to late 1950s as my late mother and father in law lived in the flat above for some years. My mother in laws uncle owned a car hire business to the back of the pub.

Not just pubs, please. I had family in the area in the early 1900s and would love to see what LL, for example, looked like before it was bombed in WW2. This particular branch lived in a house now supplanted by Marks & Spencers!!

Slightly pedantic I know but I think The Victory was an off-license or beer shop not officially a "pub", similar to the Fdenburg on Spurling Road.

Interesting talk by the Dulwich Society on the Pubs of East Dulwich on YouTube here:

I agree about its being an off-licence -- no licensee's name above the front door, and confirmed as a long-standing one by  https://londonwiki.co.uk/LondonPubs/Camberwell/LordshipLane157.shtml.

Attached is a Style& Wing ad from the Kentish Express of 1 May 1942, found in britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk.[removed.  Can't find a way of stopping it being displayed within post.]

    • Yet another reason why all supermarkets should be thrown down the pit. Along with all their lies and horrid carparks. And their disgraceful treatment and terrible conditioning of their underpaid slaves. And their horrible antisocial robots who no one can even talk to, which also make their slaves even cheaper. Get rid.   X
    • What are our rights here? An item on the shelf has a price tag and next to it a discounted price if you have a club loyalty card or whatever, the expiry date for the offer is a few days in the future. Clearly you expect to be charged the discounted price because you have a loyalty card. You get to the staffed till, scan your card but the discount for the item in question has not been honoured and you've been charged full price. You tell the staff member but they go ignorant and insist the price is the full price without the discount. You go to point out the label on the shelf but they just ignore it. It was traditional to be charged the price shown on the shelf regardless and then up to the shop to correct it there and then, they don't do that now they just call you a liar. I made a complaint online and was told it was not a staff issue, staff are employed as robots nowadays and self-appointed security guards especially in the express stores. I was told next time to go detective and take photos of all the evidence so feedback can be sent to management. That's more work that what the discount is, what a joke.
    • To me, it seems the survey asks questions about ease of understanding of the SPD rather than consulting the public on opinions on the content... What's the best way of objecting to this change in guidelines? Anyone who has been to any of the consultation events and can provide an update on this?
