Many years ago I worked for a Mail Order company HQGS at 151 Belenden Road Peckham. It had many buildings behind the shops each side, there was a staff of 31 who packed the seasonal items Summer it was tents, Winter Corrugated Plastic sheeting, and general Mail Order things.

There were people from most countries working there, some would stop work and go into the open yard face East and pray, they were never prevented to do this.

Many of the employees would come to work on their Tribal Day dressed in their colourful flowing robes, these did interfere with the work that they could not carry out being dressed like it, these days would be prevented as a Health Hazard.

The company closed all about thirty, of the warehouses to move to Dolcis shoe factory in Great Dover Street at the Borough.

Some employees went with them, but as the pay was not very good, and they lived local they opted not to go. I gave it a day but did not like being confined to a closed warehouse and no smokeing. So I left.

Some Shops remained for a few years, in Coldharbour Lane, High Holborn, Oxford Street, Croydon, Romford.

I wonder if there is anyone about who worked there?

    • If you "cotton on" and read the council announcement, it clearly states "The library will be closed from 17 November until late June or early July 2026."  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/2025/dulwich-library-closing-refurbishment
    • I’ve been seeing Lisa at goose green clinic for energy work for a year now.  Lisa is kind, caring and hugely supportive. She is wonderfully masterful and trained as a reiki master for 20 plus years. Alongside other energy work.  My time spent with her is like therapy. An emotional safe space for deep conversations and reflection followed by relaxing and energising healing work.  each experience I’ve had has been different, the end result remains the same. Feel lighter, almost euphoric and almost float home. Definitely an experience not to be missed.  https://www.goosegreenclinic.net/therapies/healing-energy-work/
    • Went there once and were not impressed when they charged £9 for one pot of Chinese tea for 2 people. 
    • What nobody has cotton onto is that Dulwich library will not be available possibly for the Council Elections in May 26. Looks as though Southwark are not confident that the work will be completed by May 26 and are scouting around to find alternative venues.
