My friend who I've known since primary school used to live on Fenwick Grove, and it's always been SE15 in our lifetime, so that's 30 odd years. Don't know about before that.


I do remember in the early 90s they were talking about expanding SE15 so it would have included parts of Lordship Lane at the Goose Green end. My sister had a Saturday job in a shop at the time and her boss and all the local business owners were freaking about about it.

I've been here since 1973 in a street next to Fenwick Rd. All streets north of East Dulwich Rd have been SE15 during that time and I have no knowledge of a postcode change before that.

Before 2002 the streets between McDermott Rd and East Dulwich Road (now in the heart of the area called 'Bellenden') were in the same ward - Bellenden(!) Ward - as the SE22(!) streets from East Dulwich Rd to North Cross Road!

Bellenden Ward disappeared in 2002 and was replaced in the north half with The Lane Ward, and in the south half by Peckham Rye Ward and the East Dulwich Ward (boundary along Crystal Place Road).

All these are boundaries that divide these local natural neighourhoods between parliamentary constituencies and Community Councils as well as Wards...

The woman I'm writing about was born in Fenwick Road so we are going back about 90 years! I do remember seeing deeds to a house for Fenwick Road once that said East Dulwich on it, not Peckham! So anyone living in Fenwick Road, check your deeds and you might be able to claim that you actually live in East Dulwich!!!!

    • St Christopher's on LL I'd list them for free as well on this website.
    • I've got noisy neighbours.  Some are always cutting wood and metal over the weekend and into the summer evenings using mitre saws, angle grinders and the like.  Breaking up concrete with Kangos.  Getting concrete poured or skips changed at 7 in the morning. And then there are those to lazy (they say they are busy) to cut their lawns and hedges cut, so rather than using quieter electric mowers etc the professional do it with motor mowers and electric strimmers.  Then there are the BBQs and outdoor parties, with the loud music and conversations, or the kids' parties the worst culprit has a pool so in warm weather kids swarm round there.  There are noise controls for building work and big DIY projects, but many don't adhere to them.  So much for good neighbours.
    • I think the main issue was with the wind - sound waves are physical and will be blown around. 
    • I think the request should be to relocate the event to a more suitable site, that would be a win win. I recall that Peckham Common was felt to be too small, which I find surprising. I now wonder if what that really means is less opportunity to expand in future? I agree fishboy, I anticipate a Gala request for 6 days and possibly an even larger footprint.
