Blakeney Red pears in SE London ?

Had some excellent home made perry at a party, from tree in their back garden, I  think it may be a Blakney Red tree.

Also visited another tree a few streets away , sadly most of the fruit had dropped bout will go back there next year to pick .

Thus more investigation required as the road is called Perry Rise, in a ward called Perry Vale all interesting as this is not West Country but SE london !

Trip to local History library to see what was there before the houses, could turn up something ....
