Yes it is Keef, but years ago b4 Elvis took it over it was George's.

thanks once again!

thanks! do you know when she will be coming to darrell rd again?

Hi! Can anyone tell me what day of the week we can go see our local MP?

YEP Ayres is in Nunhead Lane LOL. Remember when George had a fish bar in LL and North X Rd?? It was where the Indian restaurant is now and I had my 1st job there OMG!!! Dont know what was more tricky trying to serve the chips or trying to avoid George! His son, Elvis took over as manager at the North X rd shop.

The bakers in LL were called PLACE Bakers. The brothers lived in the two houses up opposite Court Lane.

I am pretty sure he was stabbed in Lordship Lane......

any descriptions of these morons????

My sister in law had her dog stolen a while back from outside a shop. Was it a wire haired fox terrier?? There are a few that have gone missing recently. Have you looked on www.doglost.co.uk ??? People who have lost dogs post on that forum

Only a few die hards left LOL

No not that Betty!! This one used to live on the corner and was always VERY drunk... Ask Betty Mortimer about her, she knew her. You must know the Elsdons then???????????

OH And Phil do you remember Auntie Bet who lived on the corner of Barry and Underhill....often walking the streets wearing just a coat???

What a gem! I liked it when she told Father O'Connor " I was here long before you, and I shall still be here when ur gone!" Shes a star!!!!

he is still around LOL

Old shops long gone on Underhill Road, Bolding and Rudder, Georginas, Harry Hastings (greengrocer)Don and Peg (sweet shop)Hardware shop, barbers which became a wet fish shop and then DEE DEE'S. And the butchers....Who used to get clothes from the Freemans shop??? TOBY the dog was an aquaintance of my dog and used to come and knock for him....looked SO funny!! What did happen to ANGEL the lady in white???? Anyone remember Tony Shepherd??? (going back now)

If you mean paraffin, they used to sell it at the garage in Oglander Rd

I have been told that there was a group of teenagers. One of them cuaght alight, probably from a smoke bomb or something similar. His very good friends laughed and ran away........would like to hear any further news as a child I know witnessed it and has been left very traumatised.

People took shelter in the basement of the Kings Arms when it took a direct hit killing/ trapping them all. Past publicans and barmen/maids would never venture donstairs to the cellar where strange noises and lights were often experienced!!!! No. 78 Oglander Rd had a bomb drop in the back garden! It blew down the back of my Mums house next door (76)... You can see the repaired brick work. Houses along Underhill/ Upland/ Friern, Hindmans / Darrell and Crystal Palace rd suffered bomb damage . As did roads in Peckham off of Maxted Rd. I have a great pic of the street party in Oglander rd taken to celebrate the end of the war!! I will try and post it........dont hold your breath!!!LOL

Quite a few letters have gone missing......Post now arriving after 12 noon. Used to come about 8.15...Not good.

Another place i was told to look is Recycle at the Elephant and Castle. There is also a forum at MBUK.co.uk where you can post the details.Good luck!!!

only saw one helicopter which was right overhead (Hindmans Road). didnt hear any sirens tho

Very true Jan. AND I doubt very much if they have taken early retirement!!!

An update! My Mum says that the cows were kept in outbuildings to the rear of 50, Oglander Road. The cows were taken from there to the slaughterhouse in Choumert Road. The land and dairy was owned by United Dairies....Maybe they have some records??!!The shop at 50 Oglander was the dairy,My Mum says she used to help the lady "sort out" the price tickets for the goods sold. After that it became a sweet shop.
