mrcampbell Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hello folksI may be laughed down as being a bit daft, but as a relative newbie to the area I would hate it for people to go without their christmas cards.We've had one erroneously delivered to us which should have gone to Macon Court. Anyone have any idea where on earth that is?Thanks! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14771-where-the-heck-is-macon-court/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Well there's Lacon Road, or there's a Macon Court in Crewe according to Google.You could try Southwark Council's website or the Royal Mail postcode finder?

mrcampbell Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Yup, tried both of those, no luck!Well, "Lorraine & Steve", if you read this...I've got your card.

tomchance Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 According to the council's web site that doesn't exist, which is a pretty sure sign it's a mispelling. Can't think of anything close to it around here.

Fliss Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I know a Mercia Court. Is the post code on the envelope? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14771-where-the-heck-is-macon-court/#findComment-391507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcampbell Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Oh, we do love a mystery!Address on the envelope is:X Macon CourtX The GardensSE22 9GGSE22 9QG is The Gardens (hence why it was delivered here, I'd imagine), but I'd definitely say the postcode is written as 9GG. There's no Macon Court near The Gardens as far as I can see/ know...and certainly not at this number.

Fliss Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 The postcode for Mercia Court is SE22 8NN, and it's not particularly close to The Gardens but in Highwood Close. At least you tried!!

Mgdoble Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Binatone is right, they must have taken down the Macon Court sign when No. 42 was refurbished.

Huguenot Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 During the development process, large parts of ED were punted out to builders in approximately 15m wide blocks.In places like what is now Crawthew Grove this means that every 3 houses were built to a similar floor plan, but with slightly different trimmings. Hence you can look up and see designs on original door and window lintels that differ every three houses.Not only this, but each block of three houses had a different street name.. "Rose Terrace", "Honeysuckle Rise"Just after the turn of the 20th century it was getting really quite daft, so all these terraces were renamed as one - Crawthew Grove in that case.The whole of the East and West sides of Oakhurst Grove were made out of two adjacent back gardens. The original manor house of the East side is the one on the corner of East Dulwich Road opposite what used to be a fish and chip shop. If they haven't pulled it down recently.I suspect that the multiple names of the houses on the Gardens were down to the same thing.

mrcampbell Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Many thanks all, especially to binatone and Huguenot - that will explain why no42 doesn't feature the flat number in question on this card! All is now dealt with and many thanks. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14771-where-the-heck-is-macon-court/#findComment-393303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
