Huguenot: Did you check rhe maps to see how much of East Dulwich is included? John K

Thanks quids. Many years ago in the days of mechanical hand calculators I supervised the grunt work in preparing a range of UK government indices. John K

I am in favour of discussing the plan here, but even better in the "General ED issues [...]" section of the EDF. The PNAAP is deceptively named. If anyone cares to check the maps the PNAAP boundary includes a very large area of East Dulwich. (For example Piermont Green and Aquarius). John K [Edited to help Huguenot]

Should have an inside track to obtain the Alleyn's results. John K

Just a brief thought... I've been wondering if those who have destroyed their front gardens by putting in hard standing for car parking will damage their properties in the same way as a rogue tree. John K

Is that a CPI chart or an annual change in CPI chart? John K

As bobby's bear has said there is a fair amount of war damage to property in our valley. The three main causes I know are: a) air shock-waves b) flying debris c) underground shock-waves I understand how when one sees a crooked or repaired house one might mistake the war damage for subsidence. I'm pretty sure that if one walks into an estate agent to enquire about a property the agent does not bring out a copy of the local bomb damage map and say "I thought you might be interested to see the nearest bomb/V1/V2 impact to this property". John K

I don't think I'm needed here. John K

Shell: Thank you for the information. I am sorry to hear that your property has suffered tree damage. Toulouse: A few questions: a] how do you know "subsidence" is "rife" in "this area"? b] what is "this area"? c] where is the "londonh clay soil"? d] where is your flat? e] why did it need underpinning? John K

This is the only decent photo I've seen. It's now a block of flats. John K

ianr: I suspect your maths are better than mine. The quoted result for Alleyn's means it came 14th in this league table. No more, no less. The original thread title is erroneous. John K

Jeremy: I thought that Foxy was being helpful in providing the information that the whole hill was once known as Dulwich Hill. John K

KB asked about the kennels. These photos come from The Graphic of 11 November 1906. I believe the kennels were behind the trees at the top of the hill. John K

UDT and Foxy: Thanks for putting Jeremy around the right way. John K

That's about it. Careless talk about "subsidence" increases insurance premiums. John K

Who is we? John K

Clay? John K

A modern estate agent marketing property at ?/sqft. John K

shell: What sort of "subsidence" do you have? Is it war damage? John K

What does "denmark hill" mean? John K

For those who have not seen the famous photo. John K

Gingerbeer, You need to bring a tape measure with you. Measure a prospective appartment. Then ask the agent to quote the rent as ?/sqft/pm. John K

Mike, At this point "sewer" meant open ditch. That St John belonged to the Battersea family that owned land in East Dulwich. Productive clayfields were a marker for valuable land. I'm pretty sure that the Effra entered Lambeth Marsh near the Brockwell Park Scour. John K
