Is there one for Peckham this time? Maybe I have missed it?

It looks like they are sold out :-(

Frederick Widmer born 1897 and baptised at St Giles Camberwell, son of Ami and Elizabeth Widmer would seem to be the right one! By 1911 he was living with mother and siblings in Hanover Park, Peckham.

I agree, it's exciting that gravestones are now emerging and should be recorded before whatever happens next to them. There may be relatives who had no idea they were there, and with family history much more accessible these days it could be possible to find living relatives.

Oops! Lordship *Lane* that should be!

The Lordship Kane equivalent for Home and Colonial stores was the wonderful David Greigs shop, with all the things Elphinstone's army describes. I loved going shopping with my mum there on a Thursday, which was when she collected her housekeeping money from the Midland Bank, moving from counter to counter...

I was always taught that you should eat hot food served straight away and not wait for others to be served, but wait till all are served to tuck into a cold course. Incredibly bad manners to comment on anyone else's!

There is an item on Solomons Passage on You and Yours (BBC radio 4) now

Good to see this covered in Southwark News today, hopefully it will get picked up by the nationals and TV soon.

I think you'll find that's mostly all they are interested in, financial viability and governance... :-(

I am someone else who has been frequently checking this thread, horrified at the situation that the Solomons Passage tenants and leaseholders and shared owners are in, but feeling completely clueless as to how to help other than express my sympathy. Someone asked about regulation of housing associations - that is the Homes &Communities Agency, "HCA is an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Communities and Local Government" is the quote from their website.

I decided a while ago not to post any more on here, as to me the cemetery is a cemetery for local, ie Southwark people. We have woods and parks nearby. But I have been catching up, and while it's a bit late in this thread, I have to ask Blanche Cameron, who I think was first to come up with a term I have never heard before - "Orthodox Muslims"...what or who are they?!

I'm afraid I don't have a clue, Sue - it was just reading the nonsense from SSW on here this morning spurred me into action, they even kindly supplied three email addresses, lol

I have now received a reply from Richard Hastings, the Diocesan Registry Administrator. He says he will "ensure it is placed before the Chancellor during his consideration of the matter". At least he will know there is support for Southwark's plans.
