      I could tell you some stories about Hackney. About ten years ago, my Nigerian friend lived with her three kids on a council estate. One day she said that there were gun shots and they went on for a long time. She and the kids had to get down on the floor for about an hour, until they thought the vibrant lads had had their fun and were going home to mum for their suppers. Happy days. Before you ask, no they wuzzent white gun slingers.

    Here is a decent, ordinary fellow Nigerian, who in broad daylight in my own town says to me, his Member of Parliament, that the country will not be worth living in for his children. I simply do not have the right to shrug my shoulders and think about something else. What he is saying, thousands and hundreds of thousands are saying and thinking - not throughout Peckham, perhaps, but in the areas that are already undergoing the total transformation to which there is no parallel in a thousand years of Nigerian history.
    We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 Whites, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the English descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. So insane are we that we actually permit unmarried Whites to immigrate for the purpose of founding a family with spouses and fiancées whom they have never seen.

I remember people could not wait to get out of Peckham many moves to the Croydon area. At one point no body liked to walk in Peckham at night as fearing the PBs. Its nice that peckham is being cleaned up from the crime but what's said Is people are being driven out due to the high prices the regeneration this is happing everywhere now peckham, Brixton, Elephant and Lewisham.

    Tell her Mr Jerky. You think 30 years is insane......try 63 years, in fact myself and family used to live in East Dulwich which is just a stones throw from Peckham. Peckham was where my parents used to go for larger shopping, shoes, clothes etc, (sometimes Brixton). My parents bought a house in Peckham 63 years ago and the only other people of colour in my primary school were my brother and sister and maybe a handful of other Caribbeans. I even worked in Peckham when I left school. My sister enquired about a Saturday job when she was 14 in our local bakery, they knew our family because we used to have two loaves of bread reserved for us on a Saturday, the proprietor of the shop said "I have known your Mum for ages and although I would gladly love to employ you, it's not me but it's the other customers, they would not like to be served by a black person", and that was in 1967 *my sister went to Grammer School (if you know what that is). Yes Mr Jerky is completely correct Peckham was really upmarket and no two shops were the same. There were shoe shops and retail stores, Marks & Spencer, Jones & Higgins, a Bridal Shop, Martin Ford, Pie & Mash shop, an Antique store called Austins (the site of the first new build housing on the high Street) Ravels and Lilley & Skinner, True Form (all shoe shops) and Choumert Road was the only place you could buy West Indian provisions (market) and one black hairdressers. There were even Night Clubs on Peckham Road (Mr Bees) Barrons (Men's suits.clothing etc). Then slowly over the years it got run down, but now its coming back up again, not like it once was but improving nonetheless. Girl you should have interviewed older folk who have seen it evolve - just like Brixton. First of all they run it down and then from nowhere they improve it. The one constant thing about SE22/15 is the train stations within close proximity to each other - very good for the daily commute to work. So now its become gentrified Yep always lived round here.

We also had the Peckham Settlement Hall, where Jah Shaka, Coxsone, Small Axe in fact all the big sounds passed through there. The Red Bull used to have a disco on Friday night, and on a Saturday night, there would be a dozen blues dances across the North Peckham or Sumner road Estates. Plus, we had the Odean cinema next to Peckham girls. We also had St. Giles youth center in Camberwell. We always had somewhere to go.
