That's not surprising if your house was built in East Dulwich.


The northern boundary of East Dulwich Parish was along the centre of Choumert Road.


What is interesting is if in any sense East Dulwich was ever considered to run further north.


Surrey County Records office has a catalogue entry for a 17th century indenture for land that is described as in "that part of Peckham Rye that is in East Dulwich".


The original Peckham Rye was roughly between where Choumert Road and Highshore Road are now.


Some indentures have a plan or map to deliniate the land. I would like to see this one.


As an aside it would be interesting to know whether Highshore Road was so-named because it was remembered that this was where the high-water mark of the River Thames was.

How is this genuinely helpful or useful in the discussion of whether certain pubs are good or bad? The mind boggles.

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
