East Dulwich & Peckham Rye in 1914 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. Three versions for this area have been published, stretching from Redpost Lane (or Redpost Hill) eastward to Peckham Rye Park, & from Fenwick Road southward to Woodwarde Road & Goodrich Road. The 1868 map is still quite open, although Lordship Lane & Crystal Palace Road are shown laid out ready for building. East Dulwich is near the top centre of the map, with Goose Green, St John`s church & East Dulwich House. Peckham Rye is in the north-eastern quarter, with villas to the south including Manilla College, Charlton House & others. Friern Manor House in extensive grounds is near the foot of the map but by the 1914 map countless streets of houses have replaced it. The Peckham & Sutton railway runs through the western half of the map, including Champion Hill (later East Dulwich) & North Dulwich stations. Other features include Dulwich House on the 1868 map. The 1914 version has Constance Road Institution, Southwark Union Infirmary, James Allen`s School, Ruskin Manor, Alleyn`s School & the north part of Camberwell Cemetery.

There are few more quintessentially English experiences than supping a pint of ale in a centuries-old public house, where the walls could tell you stories. The East End of London is awash with such places, remarkably so in some respects, given the destruction wreaked by the Great Fire of London, Second World War bombs & post-war planners. Some were around before Shakespeare; others are comparatively recent Victorian additions
- but all have a fascinating story behind them. Journalist & broadcaster Johnny Homer traces the history of the East End`s drinking establishments, taking in the landlords, notable characters, stories & a pint or two along the way. Well researched & beautifully illustrated, London`s East End Pubs provides something for everyone, whether they live in this vibrant part of London or are visiting for the first time.
