Geography
Dulwich Plough
One area of East Dulwich is called Dulwich Plough.http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2018876 This was named after a pub, "The Plough" which had been there since 1830. The pub was taken over by Bass Taverns pub chain and changed its name in 1996 to the ''Goose and Granite''. Despite the efforts of a "Save Dulwich Plough" campaign the new name was kept for almost ten years. The name reverted to The Plough in 2005.
Dulwich Library, which opened on 24 November 1897 is nearby.
549 Lordship Lane - the "Concrete House"
One of the most architecture interesting buildings in the area is at 549 Lordship Lane. The so-called "Concrete House" is a derelict grade II listed building and is an example of 19th-century concrete house. It is believed that it is the only surviving example in England.
