Can you actually imagine the Dulwich College Estate leasing premises to a 99p Shop? I suppose that the answer to this is (in the words of the motto of Private Eyes' St Cakes School) "quis paget, entrat".


In any case why all the fuss about the closure of Shepherd's? It isn't an independent since it's part of a chain, albeit much smaller of course than Sainsbury's

Even though it was part of Londis, Shepherd's did not feel like a chain - although agree with views that its range of goods were hit and miss. I rarely used it - odd pint of milk and bread, that sort of thing. The deli counter was good when I have used it.


But how this will work as a Sainsburys Local. It seems far too small compared with any Local that I have been in. I guess that once Martin's has been put out of business then they can knock through?


And although I am biting my tongue while I say this, do, do insist that this store fits into the feel of the Village. Please avoid ending up with that disgusting brown and orange logo. The brown is an unpleasant choice, the orange too in your face and the combination unfathomable. If nothing else - that would be a god send. I'm no great eye for design I have to say, but that colour combo certainly manages to look an eyesore anywhere, although marginally better than Poundland. Well maybe not. On reflection, wouldn't they look great sitting next to each other?

Ye Olde Village Tucke Shoppe (sweet shop) was where Romeo Jones is and the barbers was an electrical goods shop called Fordhams.

I live in walking distance to tbe new proposed sainsbury and I do think it's a shame. There is a good sized sainsbury at the top of Lordship Lane, again in walking distance. I just don't feel we need this facility in the village. It will affect the newsagents, it will affect the wine merchant, it may affect the shop opposite if they sell birthday cards for example. It will affect the look of the village and ultimately it doesn't support an independent high street. It's a shame.


I blame DE for putting rents so high it makes it impossible for independents to locate here. Gail's should have been a William Rose but they couldn't afford it, so we got an over prices artisan cafe instead.. Cause we so needed 4 cafes in the village...


Everyone does know the pub is due to open next year? Lots of comments we need a pub.. We do have one its just being refurbished!

Just got the attached in the post. They seem to have made a few minor changes since the previous design.


On a slightly different subject, I notice that Dulwich Audi has close. Is this permanent and if so does anyone know what will replace it?

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
