Peckham Anyone remember me?  

I lived at 20 Lanbury Road, Nunhead between 1961 and 1971 when we moved to Ivydale Road. I subsequently moved to Canada in 1975 and now live in British Columbia and West London.
My name is David Phillips my dad's name was Jame's Phillips (Sonny) my mum's name was Elizabeth (Liz or Bib) maiden name Purser, my sister's name is Sandra. I was a fireman after I left school (Thomas Calton) stationed at Euston and then New Cross until I emigrated in '75.
I'd love to hear from anyone who lived there at that time whether you remember me or not, we might have mutual friends.
Thanks and all the best. Dave.
PS: We used to go in the Waverley fairly often. You can email me if you like at:  Mail-me

Peckham Looking for old friends and neighbours  

My name is was Jean Lyon. My family and myself lived in Peckham from 1940-1959 at Pemmells Place off of Queens Road. I have very happy memories of there and would like anyone who remembers me or my family to contact me. After we moved the houses were pulled down and Acorn Estate was built which I believe has now also been pulled down. I am particularly interested to hear from the Edwards,Eastons,Andersons but anyone who remembers us.

Peckham Did you know Jack?  

I am trying to put together something special for a dear but frail old friend of mine and have been tracing the name of old employees at his workplace Evan Cooks around 1952 - in particular at their garage which was 72 Queens Road, Peckham SE London. One name eludes me, I understand he may have been the manager and was named 'Jack'. I'm told he lived in Morden but cannot find his surname. If any of your readers have information, memories or photos they can share I would be so pleased.
Many thanks.

Peckham Family Houseshare  

Are you interested in communal family living?

We are looking for two other families with young children to get together and rent a house. We have one son who will be 3yrs old in May. We would like to experience living in a co-operative, communal environment, benefitting everyone involved:

-children can play together and learn from each other
-parents can share skills and childcare
-bigger living space and garden
-more economical consumption

The idea is to rent a 6 or 7 bedroom house so that everyone can have their own space while also having communal areas. Ideally, we would like to live in Brockley/New Cross but we are flexible.

This is clearly a long-term plan as we would have to get to know one another and discuss our expectations, so we are in no hurry to move and everything would be very informal to begin with. If you are interested please email  Mail-me

Peckham 1952 Evan Cook Employees names  

Posted this again Does anybody know any old employees of Evan Cooks around this time - we understand apart from the main depot/storage area the company also had some sort of garage along Queens Road -We are trying to put together a collection of 'special memories' for someone very dear - names of the staff, old photos, etc. would be brilliant.

Peckham Peckham Wood Yard  

Yes, I remember it. I new a girl who lived in the house attached to it and went to a great party there. This would have been in 1962

Post reply -->London Peckham Pat Hardy nee Cooper 29 Nov

Peckham I remember it very well.  

My mum used to take my sister and I to get offcuts for firewood in the fifties. I used to love the smell of the place and sorting through the wood for nice bits to play with. I found enough nice mahogany to make a shoe blacking box which I still use. Crude but it does bring back such wonderful memories.
All the best, Dave.  Mail-me

Peckham Wood Yard.  

Does anyone remember the wood yard on Gordon Road just down from the library at Nunhead end? I only just thought of it while thinking of the one in Heaton Road. Another good place for firewood and nice bits for kids to make things with.

Peckham Wilson  

The fair was called Wilsons Rendezvous, owned by William Wilson who died in 1951. ( Info. from The Story of Peckham & Nunhead by John D Beasley). I used to live in Whorlton Road No.2a and the big wheel was behind our yard. The L.C.C. bought the land and built Creed house and our view of the common and pond was spoilt forever. No pictures, sorry.

Peckham Does anyone remember Jones and Higgins  

I remember going to Peckham in the 1970s and i loved Jones and Higgins department store. The name was changed in the 80s to Houndsditch warehouse.

Peckham Jones and Higgins  

I remember Jones and Higgins in Rye Lane from the fifties I don't live in London now and did'nt realize they no longer existed. I had an uncle who lived in Albany Road just off the Old Kent Road and I can remember as a kid playing by the old canal at the rear of the houses in Albany Road, I suppose that's all changed as well.

I used to work in J&H in the hardware dept. I must have been about 15 years old. I also attended Peckham Girls School and remember having a huge crush on the guy who worked in the record shop in Peckham - I think his name was 'Harry'. Great memories. I now live in New York.

Yes Unfortunately, Peckham high street and Albany road would unrecognisable if you have not been there for years.
I was born in Camberwell and went to School on Albany road and all those places i knew in 1970s have gone. My school as been turned into luxury flats.
