> any ideas on the "unknown"


That unknown pic has appeared here before, Macroban probably, think you'll find it's taken from the top of the old fire station looking down at the top of Court Lane where it joins Lordship Lane. Some great pics here Jonsuissy.

Now, if we could only get the shop/freehold owners on Lordship Lane to remove the rendering on their properties and restore the sweeping redbrick terrace from before the First World War; and persuade Southern Rail to reinstate the portico (is that the right word?) at East Dulwich Station ................

The pics I posted are the highest res I have.

I get them by trawling the net occasionally (postcards on Ebay are a good source) and saving anything that I like (slight worry over copyright issues). This is why res is not so good, but I do love the idea of the lovely old Lordship Lane pic on my wall at home.

I've posted the best of what I have, the rest is similar or Dulwich Village but they are not tagged/organised/labelled/named.

My idea over a CD was just to copy them onto a blank CD, let someone come and pick it up, they copy it and pass it on in a similar fashion so one CD is circulating physically.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
