Dealing with some of the questions above...


- dress shop next to William Rose was closed in the 1980s I think

- think it had become Somerfields by 1994, Gateway was earlier

- estate agents: there were a few even back in the 90s: (Raymond) Bushell, Halifax, Wilson Rogers, White Dent (and another next to it), Winkworth. Acorn arrived around 1994, Haart and Ludlow Thomson a bit later - both started with small offices and moved to larger ones - while Property In, Osborne Stewart [late not lamented] and Foxtons were the most recent arrivals.


And some questions:

- was the previous occupant of Moxons Jerk Rock (and since Jerk Rock only lasted a few years, what was there before it)?

- the never-open jewellers was close to Dulwich DIY, what took over from it?

- where was 'Sound and Vision'...was it at the shop now called Jolie a pied?

I thought the butcher's was the other side but could be wrong, the greengrocer's was definitely on that side. The Sainsbury's on DKH had only been open a couple of years then and many felt that sealed the fate of those to local businesses.

There was also a women's cloth shop on the EDT side. Somewhere near Binnester toys.

Health Matters was a health & beauty salon, I think?


Barclays Bank and the one opposite (sorry not mine so never remember its name...) have always been there, as has the Post Office (but we have to watch we don't lose it in the next round of cuts)..


Village Way hairdressers was certainly there by 1996, and probably there in 1994?


Coop chemists and AJ Farmers the-find-everything-you-need-for-the-house were there, where they are now.


Chener Books has been there for ages, and looks it...


The card shop near Somerfields was there I think in 1994 with the same owners. The nearby chemist further down on the corner opposite Health Matters was there but was Tanners.

Sea Cow was originally Gente's menswear.

6 Lordship lane was part of Maudlsley Hospital CMHT it later moved into the old Southwark Libraries double shop ( where it still residing).

Granda TV rentals is where locksmith is now. Locksmith used to be where kodack shop is now.

Foxtons was orignally DHSS, and before that in the 1960s, Woolies.

The mens outfitters was first situated next to the Post Office in Lordship Lane, then moved down to where the Sea Cow is now or next door to it. Shop was called 'Gents'. Bed Store was good, Electrical wholesaler was on the other side of the road, I can go back even further next door to what is now Somerfield, was called Wallis supermarket,next door a pram and toy shop was very popular a family business. Cheltenham & Gloucester. North Cross road, where the Art Gallery place is was Pollards all sorts of ladies wear and childrens wear. Granada tv hire where locksmith shop is now. If you went up further at the top of variuos roads were off licences and corner shops. There were so many shops in back street. The Heber Arms in Heber Road is now flats...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
