Could anyone tell me if there is a war memorial as I'm trying to find out if one of my relatives is commemorated. He was Lance Corporal Alfred Duke and he was killed in action 13th April 1918. He received the Distinguished Conduct Medal for bravery and is commemorated on Pozieres Memorial, Somme but I was wondering if he was commemorated in East Dulwich as that is where he lived. Thanks.

You could try the cemetary on Forest Hill Road,turn right as soon as you enter and you will see the CWGC graves and a memorial wall. I believe the name may appear there,the name Duke rings a bell if memory serves me correctly he was a postman or worked for the Post Office. Regards Jason

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
