THIS IS PECKHAM

[@SpringtrapLover2010]

I lived in Dulwich and worked in Peckham for years and I believe that Peckham should never lose what it means to us all.

[@NoNonsenseJohnson]

I grew up in the gritty times when Peckham living was bad. Mid-90s when the Peckham Boys were in early formation from the North Peckham estate. Damn I love and hate this place. So many good and bad memories. Wouldn’t change a thing though it was the best childhood! Hate to see the gentrification killing my friends businesses and pushing out families.

[@davidmccann9811]

Remember when we had the riots in the 80s?

[@NoNonsenseJohnson]

@@davidmccann9811 yep 85. When the woman was shot by police. The carpet warehouse on Peckham High St was set ablaze. I doubt the gentrifiers would dare set up shop then.

I moved from Elsted road in SE17 to Goldsmith road in SE15 in 74-75, then moved to the States in 81. I saw the last portions of the Aylesbury estate and the North Peckham estate get built. We played on the roofs of Bells Garden, before their construction was completed. I just got back to the States after spending 10 incredible days staying at an AirBnb on the Friary Estate. Yes, Peckham has changed. It was in transition when I left. I was pleased to see that the vibrancy that has always made Peckham special is still there. My hope is that the regeneration really does include "all," and I wouldn't mind seeing, when I return next year, a resurrected "Bouncing Ball/Mr. Bees." One love!!

[@bbcisrubbish]

I was born in Peckham (1931, don't tell any body) I was invited to the country side by Mr. Hitler in 1939 and again in 1940. I returned to Peckham in 1945 when it was much the same as 1939 except quite a few houses were missing. As a result of a job move I left Peckham early 1960s. During the 1950s and 1960/61 after a night out in the West End I would sometimes walk from the Elephant to Peckham or on occasions from Brixton to Pechham quite safely and with no thought of fear. Is it the same now??

[@brokenbritain1930]

bbcisrubbish there isn’t much danger, unless ur rich obviously

[@davidmccann9811]

I was born in Peckham in 1969 and lived there until I was 26 in 1995. Back in the 80s I used to go to clubs in the West End and walk back home at 2 or 3 in the morning. Through Elephant and Castle, down the Old Kent road to Trafalgar Avenue to where I lived on Acorn Estate. I never had any problems in all those years.

Good doc. Peckham is unrecognisable for me now. Family grew up, Camden estate then moved to Sumner road. Very rough area everyone saying it was fine are posh kids with no street smarts (oblivious) or peple that lived after 2010 when it changed mroe rapidly. I saw couple people dead from stabbings in person just passing by once on the bus and once walking near southampton way estate. There was a kid 17, shot in the head and they tried to burn his body in the boot of a car at the end of Sumner. Wood dene estate, woman cradling baby at christening, shot in the head while holding the baby, Damilola Taylor.. the list goes on. Not tryna glorify it, that's just the reality and when you lived there and heard all these stories you had to walk the street with an eye on your back, especially at night. When the estates were still up people would hide in the garages at bottom and run out and rob people. Although less dangerous now it lacks the character now, all the small unique shops like the chinese shop at bottom of rye lane that sold nunchukau places like that all gone, full of hipsters now, I remember seeing them and thinking rah, it's like shoreditch. Peckham is dead to me but it will always be a place I remember good memories and bad. It built my character for sure.

There are a LOT of poor families suffering in this area. I lived there in the 70s, 80s and 90s. People had jobs in the 70s. The high street was vibrant with a M&S and there was an actual department store called Jones & Higgins. Then from the early 80s the area transitioned into poverty a LOT of people moved out and it got poorer poorer and poorer. The gentrification started in the early 90s and has slowly taken over the area. I never understood why the council did not do more to preserve the appearance of the top of Rye Lane. But a lot of social housing was built during this era.

It was poor in the 70s though. I know what you mean about Rye Lane being really busy and having all of those great shops, with Woolworths, BHS, Jones and Higgins etc. But most of us didn't have much back then.
