When you went into Osgoods the sweet shop on Forest Hill Road, then next door into the dairy shop, the greengrocers where the Turkish supermarket is now and the little bakers (was part of a local chain of bakers) just slightly further down from what used to be the doctors surgery upstairs.

When you remember



- the barber shop opposite the police station on crystal palace road (Upland road side), the barber used to shave all the beards of the police officers from the station with his 2 daughters giggling as they lathered the policemen's beards.


- the slipper baths in Dulwich public baths


- Gordons greengrocers (where the turkish greengrocers is now on forest hill road)


- the little indian sweet shop on Forest Hill Road - next to Jonathans newsagents


- the jeans shop at the back of Dulwich police station on Lordship Lane...what went on in the back?


- Waverley school girls having to wear their red netball skirt and kit, on the main road on Peckham Rye


- the butchers shop with sawdust on the floor on Forest Hill Road (along where Beauty Plus is)


- 7.11 opening up and being the cool shop to go to..and yes the slurpies


- the tyres that you would jump on in Peckham Rye Adventure Playground, before the days of health and safety.:))

yes dbboy that's the butchers, Linghams!

I remember the electric fly catchers that they used to have in the shop:)

Later Linghams moved to Peckham Rye (where the Blue Tit hairdressers now is I believe)


I also remember the bakers, owned by the same chap who had a bakery in Dulwich Village.


jeans shop - yeh you're right otta ...shudder to think... :)

Ha! I was one of those girls wearing the red jumpers,my friends and I were a lovely bunch but I'll be the first to admit that were some rough scary girls at Waverley.


When my mum used to pop to the shop (where St Christopher's shop next to the cafe is) to pay off for our new beds.

When we used to get videos from Blockbusters.

When the Offie man on the corner of Landells Road/Lordship Lane would sell us booze even though we were underage.

When Hisar was Yilmaz and was constantly visited by the police.

When Waverley School used to have a swimming pool.

    • Sounds like a cool place to hang out, even it I am over the minimum drinking age.  Always looks cool when I cycle past, never seen any bother and love some of the community stuff they do too.
    • Are you aware that the young people using the skate park, none of whom (to the best of my knowledge) had previously acted, put on an absolutely amazing performance of A Midsummer's Night Dream actually in and around the skate park? They all learned their words. To the best of my knowledge they all made their costumes. They all attended rehearsals.  During some scenes of the play, some of them were actually on skateboards. The performance would have been a credit to professional actors. It was wonderful. There were also a group of people using a small area behind the skateboard as an allotment. They are really keen. I have talked to them. I don't know if they are still there - it hasn't been the season or the weather for much growing lately.   As for "underage drinking and drugs " -  I have never seen any evidence of either on this site. Have you, or are you just making assumptions? Skateboarding is very skilled. How do you suppose somebody under the influence of alcohol or drugs could do it? The last time I passed, there was a father (I presume) in there with his son (I presume). I don't know who was teaching who, but it was really heartwarming to see.   
    • Just wondering if the collections were merged, and if we know what charity/charities were supported in the end as a tribute to Akif Mushtaq? Apologies if this information was in another thread which I have missed.
    • Totally agree with you that the skate park is a great little autonomous zone for kids and youth. But at the same time there's gotta be a way to make better of the pub than having a derelict, vandalised building, even if it means moving the skate park. It's not just a missed opportunity, it's actively antisocial neglect by Dulwich Estate and Stonegate.
