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...

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
