Hope your well,

Craig here. I'm doing some social history research on music in Peckham and South East London. Really interested to hear about Intone Records, which appeared to be Peckham premier stockist of soul and reggae music, or any other stories or info about other record shops and vinyl suppliers in the area. Really would be a pleasure to hear from you.


Many thanks

Craig

Red records was in the high street late 70s and early 80s, Reeds Music/record shop was off the lane for years and I certainly used it while I was at Peckham Manor, but I also used Jones and Higgins as they had listening booths in the 60s and 70s. There was also another record shop in Choumert road but the name of it escapes me.

GSJ57 Folletts was still there in the 70's as well (maybe even the 80's?).


I seem to remember that Reeds was owned by the same people who owned Folletts, which was run by their daughter (name escapes me) and her husband, Brian. When it closed, Brian worked across the road in the electrical shop, Edwardes? which is now the coffee shop.


That's when E.D. had some character (sits back and awaits stampede !!!!).

Craig, it was nice way to waste away a few hours on a Saturday or during a lunch during my time at Peckham Manor because it was a way of keeping out of the cold in the autumn and winter months.

This a nice site but it only seems to have photos of record bags or photos of shops past and present but nothing I can find by way of reminiscences/stories relating to these stores, many of which I've visited.

Also had a stall in the lane at the Walworth Road end on the same side of the road as Rossi ice cream shop, photos of which occasionally pop up on the Facebook group "Now and then Walworth" The stall was a meeting point for many of us that lived down the lane in the 60's and 70's.

  • 4 weeks later...

I bought some of my records in Woolworths, Camberwell, Brixton and Peckham (from the mid 70s). Then most, including my lovers rock collection in the early 80s and other 12" were bought from the A1 stores in Walworth Road.


From the front the A1 looked like it only sold ornaments and lighting.

    • From the sign. Turn left up Peckham Rye, turn right onto Barry Road, straight across at the lights onto Eynella Road which leads you to Court Lane and Dulwich Park. You could turn right here and Dulwich Village is at the end of Court Lane. Of course you could stand by the sign and be “Now here or Nowhere”
    • I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.    
    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly.
