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.

      Car crashed into lamp post opposite coop , I hope no one was hurt ?

      I will buy you a frothy coffee from anywhere you like on Lordship Lane if that happens. Most of these costs never get recovered from the drivers that caused them. The photo shows a car that's been left on the zigzags protecting the crossing. Pedestrians crossing East to West and drivers heading South won't see each other until the pedestrians are in the road. That is a dangerous position to leave a car in. (I don't know if it's stil there, obviously).

      Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.

      When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.

      I wouldn't like to speculate, Sue. Not my thing. Teddy Boy is your man on the ground for that sort of first-hand detail. It's six points for driving without insurance and six points for using a phone, so that's an automatic ban of at least six months. They're going to be practically uninsurable for a considerable period after that. So, nobody's hurt, a clearly crap driver is off the road for some time and the good burghers of SE22 get a lovely, shiny new post - probably paid for by the driver. Every cloud, and that. If only Franklins wasn't changing hands, Lordship Lane would be almost perfect.
