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.

    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ? 
    • If you haven't already watched this totally shocking docudrama on Channel 4 then make sure you watch it and tell everyone you know to watch It It lays bare the scandalous, harmful and lethal  (in some cases) behaviour of the water companies since privatisation.  I for one didn't realise that the water companies pay the regulator/environment agency to regulate them in one mega conflict of interest.   This is as shocking as the post office/postmasters scandal with even more far reaching consequences.
    • We have been going to Franklins for many years. On the whole we have found both the food and service extremely good,  and good value for money, but there have been one or two low points, including unfortunately a very expensive but disappointing  meal with friends which I was paying for. I think it may depend on who is in the kitchen. We had a really excellent meal from their Christmas menu before Christmas this year, which for the quality of the food and cooking we didn't feel was expensive at all. I think it would be a real shame if it was turned into a pub. It isn't that kind of place. That's why we like it.
