Congratulations James. The endevours that James has made is for the benefit of all living in this ward, he is the Liberal Democrat Councillor for East Dulwich Ward. We have had so much sorted out for all of us that we are grateful to him. There is no set hours, but to be dedicated spending many hours of leisure time the only pleasure is in achieving success.

Street party. It depends how you want to hold a Street Party. if it is to be held in a street, then a suitable place should be found there is no need to use an open road or highway, it could be held on a space such as a forecourt of a Pub, a Cul de Sac, or open green. If you are thinking of having a street party for those who live in your street then you can hold it in a hired hall. Think that any Street Party on a Street that is planed must have safety regulations in place, insurance, permission of the council and Fee. Remember the Organisers are held liable for it. To hold one at a private place that you have hired all these are covered. If you hire a Hall. There are things that have to be considered, there must be a way of seating the guests and if food is going to be provided tables, it is normal that on these occasions that the food is prepared and given free by those attending, there is also the plates and cups or glasses. If there is to be dancing there should be ample space, and music be provided there would be electricity there and lighting for the evening, this venue is more suitable in wet weather. I attended some in the Streets. The night of the declaration of the end of the War fires were lighted in the streets the fires raged to the extent that the tarmac road covering caught light, and letters in the red post box got burned. Days after Street Parties were organised for the afternoon and evening. One for the end of World War Two VE Day against Germany. Another for the end of the war V J Day against Japan. We held our Street Party in Milo Road off Lordship Lane. I can truthfully say that people came out and shared their meagre rationed food with everybody, it was a grand way to get to know those who you thought were a misery, to find they were the life and sole of the party. In our case a piano was dragged along the road and to our surprise played very professionally by the most unlikely person, another played a banjo and another the Bones, and the singers made everybody join in. Whether you are in agreement with the reason of the party or not, if you do not go then you will have no memories to look back on when others say what did you do then. For my part I do strongly recommend it.

Betsy Vickers. How can you be traced using your married name. Who wants to know about past lives? I'm just keeping this one and staying on & on & on.

I heard that they are going to paint a white circle on the ground around the lamp post outside the Library and paint roman numerals so that the sun shows the shadow of the post would act as a Sundial. Thats for the daytime the other post well be used for the night moonlight.

Big Diversions in Chatham on A2. Best to take the A2 and branch onto M2 to Exit no 5 left onto A249 then first exit off turn righ to Sittingbourne. About 40 Miles. Any hold up will be at the A2 / M25 Junction for Dartford Crossing.

Be careful some of the Insurers automatically renew your policy at the revised rate, if you are not renewing with them Phone them up and get the renewell cancelled, if you even sent your payment by cheque or Debit they do it from stored data.

Fidlers Dram a Day trip to Bangor Chorus: Didn't we have a lovely time The day we went to Bangor A beautiful day, we had lunch on the way And all for under a pound, you know That on the way back I cuddled with Jack And we opened a bottle of cider Singing a few of our favourite songs As the wheels went around

Sue. Here is a test. Sing the words to Fidlers Dram a Day trip to Bangor. The clean version.

Sue. I dont think that you have forgoten anything, as your message is perfect. I have a long memory of times long ago but not a lot of what is now happening. My own theory is that your mind can only store so much over the years it has taken up most of the space available, so things that do not matter do not get stored. If you get up in the morning get dressed and make a cup of tea, then you have a memory. The Vase? Look under the bed now you remember why and where it went.

I used to use Saga for most of my requirments but they have gone up too much, I went on Gocompare and got far cheaper quotes. You might find that you can buy the house policy from one contents from another. My combined insurance is ?192.32.

Wait there tomorrow at the same time, the driver might use it daily.

After many hours of searching I have found a postcard in my collection of the Rustic Shelter in Dulwich Park near the Rhododendron's, in the background can be seen the back of East Dulwich Fire Station built in 1892 with its tower to the right can be one of the splendid houses that were there before the Estate was built. The postcard was posted in June 1909 at 5.45 p.m the cost of one Half Penny. The message on the back tells that a servent can not meet her brother as expected as her mistress wont let her leave until 3.30 ater she has had her dinner served. Posted in Herne Hill to William Day. 135 South Street Walworth. Picture Att.

How things change when I was employed by Southwark Borough Council the Town Hall was on the corner of Havil Street, next to St Giles Hospital. It is not very helpful to give instructions to an infirm person to mention the opposite side of Peckham Road the main South East thoroughfare out of London. It is not so long ago that I forget that the stalls were lined up from Lordship Lane in a constant line up to Fellbrigg Road, many when not in use were kept where the Electric Sub station is now, some were hired from a Coal Merchant in Whatley Road. North Cross Road is reknown as a Street Market if it declines in its use, what next plough up Goose Green? To replace stalls that were there once should not need plannining permission, as I see it was never altered to restrict any replacements. I hope that the relevent standing Acts can be produced by our representitive, or any to give guidence to those on a Committee. I regret that I cant be present but should I, my first question would be; "Could the Committtee please name themselves their position of representation, and what their qualifications are to be on this Committee? You are the residents have your say.

Now Deceased. Francis Isidore Rackow After qualification Frank served as a captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps and trained in London. He was a general physician with wide interests.

During most of his career and early retirement years he lived in Dulwich and was proud to have been elected a member of the Dulwich Club, founded in the 18th century. His retirement was an active and fulfilling period of his life though marred by the sad loss of a daughter, Rachel, in the Marchioness disaster.

Lost Railway Stations of East Dulwich. Lordship Lane Railway Station SE22 was at the bottom of Sydenham Hill, London Road, Lordship Lane, junction. It could be got to from Lordship Lane up Lapse Wood Walk and through an archway under the railway track to the booking hall in the main building of the station, the high embankment that was built to allow the bridge to be built to cross the Lordship Lane. This bridge had to be built to the rigid standards laid down by the Dulwich Estate Governor?s and never had any advertising on it. It was possible to see from Horniman Gardens the trains passing from Lordship Lane Station to Langton Rise, we liked to look in through the small windows in the pubs side wall and see the horses, you could see the train going to Honour Oak Station from Wood Vale. Honour Oak Railway Station SE22 was in Wood Vale corner of Forest Hill Road the entrance was from Wood Vale facing the Cemetery, up steps next to a wooden building that was a Sweet Shop, there was a sizable Goods Yard that was used by Coal Merchant?s, and building materials, also the Funeral Directors used it to receive the deceased from inner London. I wonder if Boris Karloff ever used the station, living within a few hundred yards.

The East Dulwich Fire Station was on the site where the Telephone Exchange known as Townley exchange is now, then next the Firemans Alley then about ten detatched houses with a large front garden, I remember a tram coming off the rails and ending up in the third ones garden these houses reached up the the then Grove Tavern, going round the corner along Duwich Common there were about a dozen lock up garages then Whatneys Brewery Sports Ground up to Firemans Alley. The Estate was built in the fifties for Camberwell Borough Council that used SE22 that later Amalgamated as Southwark Council.

Where would it be built? E.D. Police Station site will shortly be available.

What Lane? A Bus Lane has been in Lordship Lane, park there, and its only you is to blame. You get a Ticket so pay up the fine, no use saying ?I didn't see the sign? Obstruct a bus passing near the curb, just to think of this, is quite absurd. The Traffic Warden you must heed, in your opinion is a different breed. Next time you park to take the chance, think of the casualty in that ambulance. Take a moment think of what you do, an occupant in Ambulance could be you. Topaz
