Have now received confirmation that the fault is at Townley Road substation and they expect it to be repaired between 17:30 & 18:30.

The power just went off and I am wondering if this is just my home or the whole area.

Heber Road is out too.

I think the council's mobile, small appliances, recycling people will be in Sainsbury's car park on 3 Feb.

Just got the attached in the post. They seem to have made a few minor changes since the previous design. On a slightly different subject, I notice that Dulwich Audi has close. Is this permanent and if so does anyone know what will replace it?

Had the Dr. not saved Davros the Daleks would never have existed therefore when the Dr. came across Davros among the hand mines he would have saved him. The Daleks would then have existed .... this time travel thing can get very complicated if you think about it too much.

It's not working in Heber Road as well.

I've been to see the Jaguars and I have to say they are lovely cars. Sadly, even if I won the lottery and could afford one I doubt that at 6' 2" and 13.5st I would fit in the driving seat.

I thought they had the back doors open when they had a two person crew (ie had a conductor). When they operate with just a driver the back doors are closed to stop people getting on without paying.

Very true KidKruger, I have amended the title.

Some time ago I posted details of some gallantry awards made for rescue work after bombing in 1941. In the posts that followed some one found that some other police officers had received awards following the arrest of an armed man in Barry Road. The attached file is a copy of the recommendation for the awards in this case. Sorry it is a large jpeg but it was the only way I could make it a small enough file to post here. If you have trouble reading it I can post the pages as individual files on another site and give links to them.

The story of the night of 27/12/40 continues. After the first three people received the George Medal a case was put forward for two bus conducters to received recognition for there bravery that night. These two got commendations. I have also attached the pages from the Met. Police diary for that night just for general interest. P division is where these events happened.

I realised when I posted the original post that I had forgotten to check what awards had actually been given. nxjen posted the link which showerd both police officers got the Gearge Medal and I can confirm that Henry James Hicks also got a George Medal.

I have recently been doing some indexing work at the National Archives and found this record of the rescue of people from bombed buildings on East Dulwich Road. The records are HO250 which are recommendations for gallantry awards for civilians.

London Metropolitan Archives have posted a picture of students at Dulwich Hamlet School, 1907 asking for a caption. https://www.facebook.com/londonmetropolitanarchives?ref=stream&hc_location=stream Might be good if a Dulwich person could come up with a good caption but I can't think of anything!!
