The manufacturers, Ceres Manufacturing Ltd, were in business from 1993 to 2001, when they were compulsorily wound up. So don't expect to be able to restore it to its original form.

There _are_ two pictures. Here are the lower left corners of each side by side. Note too the ?path leading left over the ditch. Their given dates are 1860 and c1860 respectively. There was a James Cleverley Mandy whose death, age 48, was registered in Southampton in 1869. He married Rosina Wilson widow of the late John Wilson of Calcutta, at Wandsworth Old Church on 16 July 1859 (FreeBMD; Times announcement of 20/7) If he's the man, the 1810 dating of Collage record no.18649 (signed watercolour of Monument to Sir Richard Allington, Rolls Chapel, Chancery Lane) is also questionable. I've not found any other JCMs.

They have two catalogue entries for the picture, and so possibly even two copies. Record No.20104, said to be from the Guildhall Library Wakefield Collection, is as you say. Record no.8107 is said to be LL / Court Lane (as in my first post) and to be in the main print collection. I think it's possibly not worth worriting about unless/until a pictorial match with any of the houses emerges. And that's assuming it's a truish representation. If I had to bet, I suppose I'd still go with my initial hypothesis as the most likely, if it is indeed LL, Camberwell.

Yes, being so close to the Crystal Palace transmitter you may well, given a goodish set and location, be able to get by with a small indoor aerial for all freeview radio and TV. I've just tried a bargain-shop 2 metre fly lead instead of my aerial, and even that on its own is able to pick up many channels. Some reception advice here: http://www.which.co.uk/reviews/indoor-aerials/article/how-to-set-up-an-indoor-aerial

The 1870 OS map (1:2,500, 25" to the mile) doesn't have any house on the west side of Dulwich Court Road at the dog-leg junction with LL. Nor any large house in the position of that in the painting; just Blenheim Villa, which is much closer to the road. See the attached , or the full map at http://collage.cityoflondon.gov.uk/view-item?i=31376. The vertical grid lines are about 375 metres, 410 yards, apart) Correction - according to p.170 of A history of the Ordnance Survey (58MB PDF available at https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/about/overview/history.html) those 1:2,500 maps each covered an area 1.5 miles by 1 mile. That's consistent with the map's proportions, and with a distance I cross-checked on a recent online map. That would make the superimposed vertical grid lines 660 yards apart. My original calculation was based on what the catalogue said about the map's size.

> The LMA has it as an 1860 picture by Mandy of the junction of Lordship Lane and Dulwich Common. The search thumbnail is annotated: "Record: 8107 Dulwich/Camberwell View of Court Lane and Lordship lane, Dulwich; also showing cattle grazing and horse-drawn vehicles passsing on the road. 1860" But I don't see that as any better a match. The only possibility I can see in that area, looking at the 1862 Stanfords maphttp://collage.cityoflondon.gov.uk/view-item?key=SXsiUCI6eyJ2YWx1ZSI6IlN0YW5mb3JkJ3MgbWFwIER1bHdpY2giLCJvcGVyYXRvciI6MSwiZnV6enlQcmVmaXhMZW5ndGgiOjMsImZ1enp5TWluU2ltaWxhcml0eSI6MC43NSwibWF4U3VnZ2VzdGlvbnMiOjMsImFsd2F5c1N1Z2dlc3QiOm51bGx9fQ&pg=1&WINID=1484529722599#0yb4LPaDpY8AAAFZpKMCfw/31499, is perhaps the junction of Dulwich Common with Bark Lane (now Gallery Road). That would seem to make the large central house one of the C19 manifestations of Belair House, but I'm far from convinced of that, afaics from the 1890 photograph of its rear: the first at http://collage.cityoflondon.gov.uk/quick-search?q=Belair&WINID=1484528532947. It is in the right place though. Playing around with http://www.suncalc.org/#/51.4425,-0.0779,21/2016.08.17/16:48/1 and taking a shadow length multiplier of 1.64 would I think place the viewing bearing more likely to be in the NNW area, depending on time of year. [ETA 16/1 01:29 to say I've changed my mind already, after having a look at the 1870 OS map. The orientation of the house is wrong, so unless the artist has taken a liberty so as to show its frontage...]

A couple more views of Rye Lane in 1913, which I've extracted from a 7MB English Heritage paper available at http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/myads/copyrights?from=2f6172636869766544532f61726368697665446f776e6c6f61643f743d617263682d313839332d312f64697373656d696e6174696f6e2f7064662f656e676c69736868322d36363834332e706466. Given that the 7 July 1913 was a Monday, I wonder if the two were actually both taken on Saturday 7 June. There was a series of photographs taken at different times of day on 7 June 1913, probably to assist an inquiry into whether the speed limit should be reduced to 10mph. Camberwell Metropolitan Borough Council had applied to the LCC for this but there had been objections. A "monkey parade" is described as "a weekend street theatre of promenading youth".

Given that Buddug has already provided a draft statement and has only to sign it, it possibly doesn't matter here. But generally anything that might potentially contaminate a witness's memory or account -- such as the provision of extraneous fresh 'information' -- is probably best avoided. A defendant could argue that the information had been put into the witness's mind after the event.

Perhaps neighbours would be happy to let you use any spare capacity in their blue bin the day before collection.

What is the actual wording of the body of the letter?

The map's author, Matt Brown, did comment, on the same page: "I didn't really use any old maps, as none exist until Tudor times. It's a combination of many, many resources. I started by drawing the river system, which is well known and little changed from ancient times. I then plotted the Roman roads, using reference material from the Museum of London and other sources. The place names come from a variety of sources. I used the Domesday Book as the backbone, supplemented with references from British History Online and other scholarly publications. In most cases, you'll find variations on the place name, as names changed over the centuries, and were given different spellings. I've generally gone for the earliest known appellation. I've also been writing about the etymology and history of London for well over a decade, so it no doubt incorporates many of my own personal biases like any map." One of his other contributions is specifically about old London maps: http://londonist.com/london/oldmaps. One I found myself, an 1810 version of late Anglo-Saxon London proper, is at http://www.antique-maps-online.co.uk/london-2912.html or http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/crace/l/007zzz000000001u00006000.html and gives a starker impression of the reality. http://opendomesday.org/place/TQ3376/peckham/, for example, reports just four households in Peckham, and twenty nine in Camberwell. The Oxford Dictionary of British Place Names (available online via Southwark Libraries site) is a bit disappointing on more recent London district names -- no entry, for example, for any of the first three I checked, Colindale, Colliers Wood, and Nunhead.

"In 2011, we put together a map showing the London area in Anglo Saxon times (roughly speaking, 500-1066AD). It's pieced together from many resources, showing our guess at the roads, rivers, forests and marshland that characterised the region. The main purpose was to highlight the many villages, hamlets and farmsteads whose names are still part of modern London. For example, the map shows 'Wemba Lea', the land belonging to a local chieftain by the name of Wemba. We know nothing about Mr Wemba, yet his name is familiar to millions, perhaps billions, through its continuation into our own times as Wembley. Similarly, Croydon is a corruption of Crog Dene, which meant something like 'valley of the crocuses'." http://londonist.com/2014/01/anglo-saxon-london-map-updated

Even the wikipedia copy has the same typo, more than once. https://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecce_Romani It gets quite exciting in Lectio V. Who's the big girl's blouse who escapes up a tree when a wolf arrives and the girls call for help? Is it quiet Marcus, or laddish Sextus? Iam legite ...

A driver can sometimes be guilty of careless driving, or worse, even if his victim is a drunk pedestrian and also at fault: as for example in this case: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2397909/Drunk-pedestrian-knocked-killed-car-heard-quiet-hybrid-vehicle-approaching.html. He would still have been culpable if the victim had been another driver or rider. Conversely, a driver unavoidably hitting a pedestrian who enters his path without warning, is not necessarily at fault: cf for example the case of the poor woman who crossed in front of a lorry in Peckham High Street a year ago: http://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/driver-blameless-road-death-peckham-pensioner/
