That's not surprising if your house was built in East Dulwich.

The northern boundary of East Dulwich Parish was along the centre of Choumert Road.

What is interesting is if in any sense East Dulwich was ever considered to run further north.

Surrey County Records office has a catalogue entry for a 17th century indenture for land that is described as in "that part of Peckham Rye that is in East Dulwich".

The original Peckham Rye was roughly between where Choumert Road and Highshore Road are now.

Some indentures have a plan or map to deliniate the land. I would like to see this one.

As an aside it would be interesting to know whether Highshore Road was so-named because it was remembered that this was where the high-water mark of the River Thames was.

MrB, intone this while kissing a bishop's ring and who knows what bounties may be bestowed upon you.

How is this genuinely helpful or useful in the discussion of whether certain pubs are good or bad? The mind boggles.

[Kingy]

Parts of France used to be in Germany, but they're now in France - any good pubs in France ? or Germany ?

WTF has this been moved to the 'Business' section ? the boggled mind
