Thanks Sydney. Updating the list is on our to-do pile but here it is: https://www.dulwichsociety.com/local-history/797-who-was-who-in-dulwich Our monthly local history talks also have snippets about famous or interesting residents. Check out @DulwichHistory on Twitter or the Bell House website (they run the talks for us and have some old ones recorded).

Thanks, a good suggestion, we'll feed it back.

Thanks. We'll feed those back.

Nigello, the bin has been repeatedly vandalised, broken into and the contents strewn across the pavement. The door is now broken and the bin has to be taken for repairs. We are hoping that when it returns it can move to another site still in Dulwich but one that doesn't impact on the heritage location of the historic 17th century burial ground. Local councillors are involved and have given us a list of criteria (attached) so if anyone can think of any suitable locations please let us know. We definitely need the bin, it is used more than any other electrical recycling bin in Southwark.

We are trying to put together a list of defibrillators in Dulwich. Please let us know of any or if we have any incorrect locations:

Can't answer your question sorry cellopan, but the Christmas lights are on in Dulwich Village so I'm sure it won't be too long before Lordship Lane is lit up.

Yes the new tree, a Japanese Pagoda, has gone in and the bench will come back as soon as Southwark's tree people are happy the tree has settled.

Hi Nigello. Sorry to hear you haven't had a reply to your email to the Society. The bench has been removed because the tree had died and needed replacing. A new tree (a Japanese Pagoda) is due to be planted this week and once it has settled in, the bench will be reinstated. The bench won't come back straightaway as Southwark Council want to keep a close eye on the tree, but it is safely in storage ready for its return. As you know, the bench commemorates Lt Mark Evison who died in 2009 of wounds received in Afghanistan. His obituary is on our website: https://www.dulwichsociety.com/journal-archive/63-autumn-2009/458-lieut-mark-evison
