Pymers mead, SE21

Pymers Mead was indirectly named after either Richard de Pynnore or Margaret Pynnor.

Richard de Pynnore had witnessed a Dulwich deed in 1340. Meanwhile Margaret Pynnor was mentioned in a Deed of Release of unspecified Dulwich property in 1473.

The original Pynners Mead or Pynners Leasue (a leasue being another term for a meadow) was about 3½ acres somewhere in the area bounded by Danecroft Road, Elmwood Road, Red Post Hill and Herne Hill.

Pymers Mead is a 1960s spelling error from when the local authority was researching possible names for new housing developments in the 1960s.

The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.

The aim of the project is to find the location every street in London, whether past or present, and tell its story. This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.

The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades.
