Only seen 1 of these pics. Dulwich Hospital was named "King's College Hospital - East Dulwich annexe" for a period to the mid-70s, and did still have a maternity ward then: it was also thought a good nicer than the one at King's by a mother of my acquaintance...

The buildings at the cross roads at Lordship Lane, Barry Road, and Eynella Road, have changed so much in the last century,

The attached picture is the old buildings opposite the St Thomas Moore R.C Church Lordship Lane , in the background can be seen the Christ Church Barry Road . In those days there were shops in the same place, as today.


Today the site 397, 399, 401 Lordship Lane SE22, comprises of Costcutter , D.V.R. , Badger Bakery.


The ( Passmore Edwards ) Dulwich Library, was damaged in the second world war, there were for the duration two brick flat roofed Air Raid Shelters built in the grounds, one in the corner of the gardens further away from the main building at a gate in Eyenella Road, the other facing Lordship Lane , the latter one was converted into public toilets, they have been removed now.


The Lordship Lane R.C Church was damaged several times as many bombs dropped nearby, the Vicarage behind was quite damaged.


The Post Office during the war was in the row of shops in Woodwarde Road next to the Alley way that went through to Lordship Lane.

      Cycling clubs, group rides and dog parks

      Friend recommends Penge Cycle Club.  Southwark Cyclists usually do two social cycle rides on Saturday, you don't need to be a member (London Cycling Campaign) but recommended.  They are advertised on the What's On section of EDF. And you can go on their other Borough group rides, Lewisham Cyclists often do long rides. Generally very cycle friendly around here, despite occasional on line hostility.

      This Italian restaurant at the Southbound Goose Green bus stop on Lordship Lane is excellent but doesn't seem to get much custom, especially at lunchtimes - a sad indictment of East Dulwich society.  If it were in Camberwell/Peckham (where I used to live) it would be rammed. If we don't want Lordship Lane full of chains, then good quality independent family places need custom.
