maxxi Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I also remember the street from the early 90s when the Bishop Brewery was still up at Borough and bermondsey antiques market was very popular because a bye-law meant that if you 'accidentally' bought stolen goods there they were yours for keeps - not sure if that's still the case but it made the place a right den of duckers and divers on a Friday morning.

MrBen Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm writing a piece "In search of the Raider" in which I attempt to track down the famous local blogger and his half life chum at a Hamlets game purely from his silhouette Twitter pic. All we know is that he's hairy, likes job centres and garden centres...and rollies.

PeckhamRose Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Excellent article. I know of a woman in her 80s who lives on that street who bought her house dirt cheap many, many years ago and is now pissed off she's too old and frail to enjoy the money selling the place might give her. She loves it there. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/53128-a-day-on-bermondsey-street-se1/#findComment-812932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBen Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I saw them plat a few years back. Rumours were rife that there was a new Chas. But I think they had just aged 20 years.
