Mail me Post reply -->London Penge Tracy 20 Feb ^ Penge Parish Lane, Penge.Hi, My great grandparents Stephen and Emma Searle lived at 52 Parish Lane, Penge from 1893 to sometime after 1901. I have viewed the property on google maps for family history reasons. I've no idea if the property is the same now as it was then, but it looks like it could be the same. Hope that helps with giving you an idea as to how old the properties are. If you happen to be out with a camera one day... could you photograph 52 Parish Lane and email me a photo? The one on google maps, shows an overflowing rubbish bin outside which doesn't look very nice. Cheers, Sherry Post reply -->London Penge admin@belly-bars.com 18 Apr ^ Penge Penge parish laneHi sherry yes I will sure take a pic of 52 for you. It is now converted into 3 seperate flats & to be honest it's such a shame & also the rubbish you mentioned is nearly always outside it drives us crazy spk soon Mail-me Post reply -->London Penge Tracy 25 Apr | These aren't commercial ads below: they are a rotating selection of postings contributed by MoveThat.com users in the last 24h. |

We both used to go to the 101 Club at one time (or "The Drum" as it was also sometimes called). He had an older brother called Jack and a younger one called Pete. Phil used to work on Saturdays at Bert Morris, the butcher's shop. He also had friends - Ken Kenehan, Ian Rouse, Colin Skelly and another Colin whose name now escapes me. Ken used to live in one of the "Grove" roads. It would be nice to catch up just for old time's sake, particularly about our time at the 101 club. I am still in touch with Karen Bishop who also used to come to the club and who, at one time, went out with Ken. Mail-me .

Before Parish Lane but after the church if your heading towards Penge East station. I wondered if anyone knew how old the houses are here. My house is a semi with 5 bedrooms and has 3 floors 2 rooms in the loft if you like that are original as built and as I understand it were for servents! Mail-me Tina Post reply -->London Penge Tina 29 Aug ^ Penge Early 1880sWard's directory of 1880 says "houses being erected", but only the Vicarage and Albemarle College (now demolished) were in occupation in the 1881 census. Nos 59 & 61 appear in the 1882 Kelly's directory, but this directory required people to send in their names rather than anyone going round collecting them. By the 1891 census, the houses at the Sydenham end were all built. Many of them have names Mail-me if you want to know yours (send a small range of numbers if you don't want to give me your exact address). Post reply -->London Penge Chris Doran 30 Aug Penge Supermarket There used to be a supermarket in Green Lane opposte the Police Station it closed and later the building became an extension of Edgintons, the Supermarket was there in the 70/80's does anyone know the mame of the supermarket I think it might have been something like Pricerite.Any info would be appreciated. Post reply -->London Penge Brian. 23 Aug ^ Penge 46 Green LaneFrom the street and telephone directories I have to hand, it was F J Wallis Ltd from 1969 to about 1980, then Shopper's Paradise until about 1990. Post reply -->London Penge Chris Doran 24 Aug ^ PengeThe supermarket at No.46 Green Lane used to be called Wallis's Supermarket when I first moved to Penge in 1974. I think it was later reincarnated as part of a different retail-chain (Somerfield's?) for a while before Edginton's took over the premises. As you probably know, this is the site that Bromley Council would like to purchase for accommodating the library that will replace the Maple Road Library. Post reply -->London Penge Reg Adams 17 Sep ^ Penge 46 Green LaneFrom your street and telephone directories would you know when Ladyman's fish and chip shop (the best there was) and Hunt Bros the Tailors both of Green Lane, disappeared? I remember them from the fifties. Post reply -->London Penge brian 26 Aug ^ Penge 3 & 6 Green LaneBoth went around 1971. I say "around" because directories are never accurate. 'Phone books list T H Ladyman & Son at No 3 from 1950, but the name goes back much further, as 1901-13 directories have Thomas Henry Ladyman, fishmonger (rather than fryer), at that address. Between the wars the names shown are Alfred George Hillier (1922-35) and Arthur Young (1936-39), also fishmongers. The later Ladyman's were part of a chain with shops in SE23, W7, SW6, and Beckenham described collectively as fish merchants/caterers so it is not clear when they actually started frying at Green Lane. It is now the Elkervan takeaway. Hunt Bros at No 6 appear in 'phone books from 1957. It is now a private house. Post reply -->London Penge Chris Doran 28 Aug ^ Penge 3 and 6 Green Lane^ PengeHallo Chris, My brother's mother-in-law worked at Ladymans for many years, she was Mrs. Cruttenden. She and her husband and family lived opposite the shop in Green Lane. They were still therein 1949 when we moved to Australia. Post reply -->London Penge Shelagh Percival 13 Jun Penge Parish Lane PengeTracy, are you there? Little bit of info you may be already aware of, The Essoldo Cinema was definitely the Penge Empire Theatre which was built in 1915 as a music hall and in 1950 became the Essoldo Cinema. I think I misled you when I said it was on the corner of Maple Road, it was in fact nearer to the nick than that by Burnham Road I understand. I'm told there is a square called Empire Square now in memory of the old Empire. By the way the nick was built in 1872 and is the oldest in London. best wishes Post reply -->London Penge brian 24 May Penge Penge Conservatives Bowls ClubPenge Conservatives Bowls Club 55 Croydon Road Penge London SE20 7TG Tel: (020) 8325 6837 Email: Mail-me Bowls Club requires new bowlers.
