Long shot .. but here goes :


My late Nan's Uncle 'Edwin/Ted PERRY' had a Newsagents/Tobbacionist at 73 East Dulwich Grove from about 1926 till he died in 1952.

Business partner 'Sarah Finlayson' (from his Will).

A 'William E DOUGHTY' lived there c1948.

Also'Hector and Lilian PATTERSON' were living there after 1952 with Sarah Finlayson.

Any of the older members recall the shop?

Trying to solve a long term family mystery, nothing other than for curiosity sake.


I have the Electoral register list for some of "East Dulwich Grove" from 1948 - 1953. ODD numbers only.

If any help to anyone?

Thanks Rose.

The shop was the most Westward one in the terrace of shops immediately adjacent to Dulwich Hospital?


How about contacting the current owners to see if they will let you look at the deeds of the property where there may be some family history for you.

Just to add

My great Grandmother was living at 47 Fellbrigg Road Camberwell on 1891 Census

the only one I can find is in East Dulwich and the road appears to be still there.

Does not seem to be to far from East Dulwich Grove so I must be on the correct track!

1881 they were in Machell Road, again not too far away it appears.

Thanks.

In 1891, this would have referred to to the Borough of Camberwell, of which East Dulwich was part at that time. You will find some members of EDF, such as EDOldie, often lamenting its departure from the political map in 1965.

Hi Frisco


Thank you for the reply.

Checking the original copy of the Census you are correct.


Edwin/Ted Perry, his brother, cousin (Spencer) and at least one of Edwins sons were Public House Keepers.

Wonder if any of them ran pubs in the Dulwich area. They certainly moved around London.


Seasons greetings.

Rose

    • The refurb has made it brighter and smarter with greater emphasis on weights and other exercise. Seems that cardio is restricted to the quarter of the floor area as you enter. This seems fair enough as I rarely saw more than half the cardio equipment being used at any one time. I have been told that some cardio will be on the newly created gallery space overlooking the main gym floor. Free weights area looks bigger and there is a good range of resistance machines offering to exercise most muscle groups. There are some new types such as a squat machine, whereas core machines for abs and back seem to have disappeared. I have been told that some machines have yet to arrive. Overall, it’s a great improvement.  To say it’s still a dump is unfair and untrue.  The alternative would be to traipse over to Beckenham where David Lloyd will charge you the same for two months’s membership as you would pay for a year at DLC.
