I was at the Jack the Ripper exhibition at the Museum in Docklands yesterday + whilst I was looking at Charles Booth's 1889 Poverty Map I noticed a long road near Grove Hill Road/Ivanhoe Road called Cut Throat Lane

Here you are, it's facinating. South east london

In the past streetnames reflected a little more honestly the trades and activities that went on therein.


I always crack up at the thought of Grope**** Lane which was near what is now Barbican, renamed Milton St, I'm sure he'd have been proud...err so to speak..


I rather like Cut-Throat Lane, no worse than Nunhead in honour of some poor decapitated sister (citation needed).

Interesting, Crystal Palace Road is Harris Road, don't know when the name actually changed, but it was obviously after the great exhibition centre was moved to Penge.


Also, no St John's Church on Goose Green, which surprised me, but a chapel more or less where Jojo Maman Bebe is these days :-S

baring in mind "the cut" in waterloo, "cut through lane" does make a bit more sense, but it just dosent have the same ring to it as "cut throat lane".

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
