> Or pay the server costs on admin's behalf? I did divvy up on the last request for a server upgrade (perhaps you were not around at the time), I've paid for a banner advert on the EDF, and made a donation for each one off advert. I notee your priorities for the EDF. Silly pictures of interest to a few rather than material such as the photos uploaded by computedshorty. I understand you are leaving East Dulwich soon.

So that's most of the local history material uploaded by many contributors. John K

Which contractor will be awarded the new contract? John K

This is Jack Hopkins of Lambeth Council? John K

So this hinges on the legal definition of "highway". What is this? John K

It needs a local name that will stick. The never-ending turd? John K

Waitrose might be interested if the building was Grade II listed by English Heritage. John K

At last, somebody who understands the geology. The fault line runs across the East Dulwich and Nunhead valley. Perhaps 9pence can contribute to the next "subsidence" thread. John K

trefford21's update now shows the proper extent of the East Dulwich blackhole. This has been discussed on the EDF in previous years. Southwark does nothing about this. John K

> John K - when I queried our home-to-school measurement with Southwark, we were given the eastings/northings for the school and for our home that they use. My understanding is that they're taken from the NLPG (National land and property gazetteer) and are the visual centre of each address. Could you explain where the school gate issue comes in? Is this for non-community schools? Many thanks I've not used the NLPG reference for schools. I'd like to know the geometry of "the visual centre of each address". Perhaps your Southwark contact could explain? Or perhaps not. A school gate example would be Goose Green School which could use the Grove Vale or Tintagel entrances for measurements. John K

Each school has an official Department of Education Ordnance Survey Grid reference. Each school building has an Ordnance Survey object centroid Ordnance Survey Grid reference. A school can chose which school gate to measure the catchment radius. This Ordnance Survey Grid reference will be neither of the previous two. The deviation can be 100m. John K

This demonstrates the East Dulwich "black hole". John K

I hoped this thread would be about the architecture of the building itself and not about putative occupation. The building needs to be considered in the round, including its rear. John K
