blue plaque

contender with Michael Crawford (born 1942), actor and star of many successful musicals, who spent part of his childhood living above the shop at 16 Half Moon Lane, today the Peachy Goat restaurant. For more than 60 years until the late 1970s the shop was a David Greig grocery store, where Michael’s stepfather was at one time the manager. Original tiling on the shopfront with the initials DG still survives.

Other nominees this year include Francis Peek, without whom we would probably have no Dulwich Park, the Concrete House on Lordship Lane and Johnson Beharry VC, awarded the Victoria Cross when serving in Iraq in 2004. More details can be found on the website of Southwark News
