New photos on wall in North Cross Road

[DulwichFox]

I thought there were street cameras on all the lamp posts

on North Cross Rd.

I'm sure I have seen these small cylindrical devices that point downwards.

Not sure if they are still there.

Were they removed when the Street lights were upgraded ?

Some lamp posts have small cylindrical things for plugging in Xmas lights.

Contractor has agreed to supply for free replacement photos and screw them all down to reduce risk of damage if someone decides to try removing them.

The council officer Pippa has done a good job arranging this.

This website is rather nifty

It's a google maps mash up where historic photos are shown on google maps and when clicked upon are superimposed over street view. A date slider allows you to narrow down the time period taken, ie if you're interested in war time damage say.

Sort of thing t'interweb is actually good for.

Can anyone tell I'm not spending all day looking after my son anymore?

Does anyone know where in Lordship Lane the railway bridge stood that was demolished please?

[????]

Not 100% but I think it was replaced by the current bridge at East D station (which was once called Lordship Lane)....could well be rubbish though :-$

I thought the lordship lane station was way up just before it runs out near the horniman?

Right at the top of Lordship Lane where it becomes London Road; next to junction with Wood Vale.

See picture below shows; The Tram pictured is outside Hornimans Gardens opposite the foot of Sydenham Hill.

The bridge was above the junction of Lordship Lane, Wood Vale, London Road and Sydenham Hill.

East Dulwich Station was never named as Lordship lane for the simple reason it was not in Lordship Lane but Grove Vale.

Nice photo Shorty. If you look on Google Maps, you can see the old route of the railway line amongst the trees next to Wood Vale, and also running through Dulwich/Sydenham Woods.
