The Concrete House was built by Charles Drake, my great grandfather, and my family and I are particularly keen to see it restored. We believe that Charles Drake was living in a house known as The Ferns, Lordship Lane, when he died in 1892, but I don't know which house it is - if it is still in existence, that is. Does anyone know what number it is or was?

This photo must have been taken some time ago. I walked all the way down Lordship lane just to find it the other day and its in such a bad way. There is barely a roof tile in situ nowadays and it looks as though all the floors fell through a long time ago.


What's with the rear of the building anyway? When I peared over the fence it looks as if the building now has an extension - or perhaps an adjoining building? You can't see it here so it must be pretty new? It looks horrible - some god awful hash up, vaguely reminiscent of the original style.


I read that the owner wants it leveled so to build on it? I think they'll end up getting what they want by neglecting it this much. A real shame.


Would be nice to see it restored but I guess it would cost far more than it would ever be worth doing so?

      Be careful in local shops

      You can get a card at the till, though, to get the discount. You don't have to carry it with you (or load it onto your phone), you can just get a different card each time. Not sure what happens if they notice 🤣

      Gyms in dulwich

      By NewWave · Posted

      Yes..that may be the case but membership STARTING at £115 a month is still unafforable for many. Council gyms also have a large range of equipment and I had a  PT at Dulwich leisure centre when I was in Full Time employment who was incredible and even kept in contact during lockdown giving me a program I could do at home and checking in weekly at no charge or personal gain for herself. I dont doubt that Fit For may be a good gym (Its been in situ long enough so must be doing something right) However the cost of membership means it is affordable for the few not the many. If I could afford that kind of fee I would rather get a train to Canary Wharf and go to Virgin active where theres a pool and incredible classes and facilities

      FOUND: red TREK bicycle

      By jay66 · Posted

      We found a red TREK bike yesterday that had clearly been stolen and dumped. Would love to reunite it with its owner. Get in touch if you know whose it is.
