Thanks Jon

A quick glance proved fascinating so I'm hoping to read more later.

Whilst my friends will tell you I already belong in another era, I find it difficult not to long for Peckham's hey-day and some of the stunning Georgian and Victorian architecture to be uncovered and returned to its former glory.

A sad tale of decline and unregulated expansion. Hopefully, if the money ever materialises, the refurbishment and redesign of the fron of Peckham Rye station will begin to restore Peckham.

The document is definitely worth a read. I would imagine a lot of East Dulwich people shopped in Rye Lane during its heyday. Hopefully, once the Peckham Town centre get going again, the area would then attract better shops.

Can someone merge the two threads together please?

The English Heritage report is incredible .

Not read it all ,still reeling at the pics of Rye Lane packed ( and I mean packed ) at 10 o'clock at night with promenading teenagers . A " Monkey Walk "

Who knew !
