flong Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 First post here, though I've been lurking for a while: hello to everyone.Does anyone know about the corner house that looks like a defunct pub - now apparently a private residence - on the corner of Spurling Road (behind the EDT/Bishop)? It bears the sign "The Edenberg". I've often wondered about it as I've walked past, and can't find any info on the web...

Keef Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Don really know anything about it, but it's been like that as long as I can remember, so hasn't been an open pub in at least 25, years, probably more.

Jah Lush Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 It's seems to have been there forever and I know it looks a bit like a small pub but from what I can tell it may have been used as an off license but I can't be sure of that.

blinder999 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I am intrigued by the red neon sign that hangs in the window. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/398-the-edenberg/#findComment-8413 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrystalClear Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I thought it was something like that, (I have vague recollections of being told one drunken night).I think it's just somebody's, somewhat funky house.

Louisa Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 That building on the corner of Spurling RD was once a private drinking club from the mid 1950's up until the late 1960's, and I know this because a relative of mine used to go and play cards and gamble there during the early hours. It apparantly has a basement as well as upstairs. Before this is it was a Jewish deli, but that was long before the dawn of time and i'm sure no one is old enough to remember on here lol... I think it's been a private residence for at least 40 years.. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/398-the-edenberg/#findComment-8635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
