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!!!!

    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
