Think "extra-territorial parachutists" as you read it. It might help. John K

The manifesto is the funniest thing I've read today. Thank you. John K

I wonder who will get the contract. John K

Mr Barber, You may also wish to check whether Southwark Council hold any evidence that Straker's Road is a "road" where the RTAs bite. If not, things could be interesting. John K

Ian, The last time this was discussed on the EDF I don't remember whether anyone got around to checking the legal status of Strakers "Road" and the adjacent "pavement" to confirm that it is subject to the legislation. The Camberwell Borough Council Anuual Report 1905-1906 has the relevant information missing. No doubt the borough engineers department will have the information at its fingertips. John K

Respect to the White Berets. John K

I've got it! It's a three kings mural. John K

F.M.Comway paint? John K

Make sure this is included in the script: "based on 'Girl at a Window' by Rembrandt and 'Triumph of David' by Poussin" John K

First Mate, You need to try examples in plan as well as in section. The real world is three dimensional. John K

There are some strange geometries here. I suggest you use a pencil, ruler, and squared/graph paper and see if you can devise any configuration that does not lessen the neighbour's quiet enjoyment of his property. John K

Kiwi Gladstonians from the Wairarapa. John K

What is the significance of the pink paint on the pavement? John K

After I commissioned "The Architecture of Peckham" http://www.amazon.co.uk/Architecture-Peckham-Tim-Charlesworth/dp/0948585021 I had a close look at East Dulwich to see whether it would be viable to publish a sister volume for East Dulwich. It was not. Parts of the Dyos http://www.amazon.co.uk/Victorian-Suburb-Study-Growth-Camberwell/dp/0718511263 have sections on East Dulwich and the map of the estate boundaries is useful. It can probably be borrowed from Southwark Libraries. There is probably more East Dulwich material here: http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/urbanhistory/research/dyos . When, in 1989, I was having that closer look at East Dulwich I did not find any domestic "side return" extensions. The actual phrase "side return" seems to be an import by in-comers, or at least not used in the parts of East Dulwich where I have lived. If someone suggests domestic "side return" extensions in the modern sense have a long East Dulwich history I would like to know where and when they were built as I must have missed them first time around.

So, when was the first "side return" extension, the subject of this thread, done that destroyed the side garden/yard and probaby the back addition ground floor bay window? Just an East Dulwich street name and approximate date will be fine. John K
