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.

It didn't take long to descend precipitously did it?! :-(

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.

Reading the latest on this long long thread galvanised me into action. I wrote to the three Church officials the SSW seems to think is on their side.

I wrote:- I am writing to let you know that I approve of Southwark's plans for Camberwell Old and New Cemeteries.

I understand there has been a campaign against what I believe to be a sensible and proper decision by the London Borough of Southwark to make more burials possible in their cemeteries.

My family have lived in Southwark for at least eight generations. I have many family members buried in all the local cemeteries. I think the earliest in the Camberwell cemetery was in 1882, that of my great great grandfather, and I have no objection to the graves and remains of those who were interred over 75 years ago being dug over and made available for new burials. This would include the grave of my brother for instance, who died in 1945. Doing this will ensure that local people will be able to bury and mourn their dead close to home, something I believe is the caring and compassionate decision of both the Local Authority and I hope, the Church.

i remember it well, though as far as I can recall, it didn't spread to Dulwich, it was mostly 'my end' of Peckham, the High Street, Hill Street and North Peckham estates.

"when the cemeteries themselves were set up they where right on the edge of the city"

The big cemeteries were set up on the edge of the city only when all the church graveyards were full and overflowing - burials were very much local, and of course still are in more rural areas.

The place is a cemetery, this space was always meant for burials, not a nature reserve. Surely I'm not the only local who has family buried here from way back?

I only just saw this message - who supplies your Humira? When I was on it, I asked my suppliers (HaH) and they sent me the necessary, including a travel sharps box, letter for travelling etc..

I think that Radstock is in Somerset. There are historical directories on lne, but earlier than the time you are looking for. You need access to a Kelly's or similar street directory - perhaps if you contact the Somerset Heritage Centre, they may be able to help - http://www1.somerset.gov.uk/archives/Researching.htm Fingers crossed for you anyway!

I do believe it was in Beauval Road, up the top near the junction with Milo Road...

I was at Heber around that time, jacqui t, well I certainly recognise all those teachers' names. One you didn't mention was Mrs Sanderson, who was my form teacher for my last two years there. My sister and twin brothers were there before me, too.

Somewhere on this forum I recently read that the school keeper's house is being ?renovated? When I was a pupil, Mr Norgrove was the school keeper and his son David was in my class. To quote Wikipedia, " David Ronald Norgrove[1] (born 1948) is an English businessman, former chair of The Pensions Regulator and current chair of PensionsFirst, the Family Justice Board and the Low Pay Commission."

Hi Annie - I'd like this, though not too easy for me to host it.

Help! I can't make this link work properly, getting frustrated as the times were given at Community Council meeting, but cannot find them either on 2012 site or LBS... there were times. very precise times given for each part of the route.

I'm pretty sure that M & S were never in East Dulwich.

Funny, isn't it - so many people in Peckham want M & S to return to Rye Lane (and I suspect they never will)and there's this weird thing going on on this forum...
