That's the place, it borders Shoreditch/Hoxton


It's a lovely walk through the cemetery


I can't remember who else he's buried near, but it's worth a visit for sure

> Chris McCabe (who's just published a book about Nunhead Cemetery (Cenotaph South: Mapping the Lost Poets of Nunhead Cemetery) thinks it was a hawthorn. He tracked all the mentions of angels and trees in Blake's poems and letters and found only one instance where an angel's mentioned in a tree and it's a hawthorn ...


I can recommend this book, which, as they say, is available in all good bookshops.


If there was a vision from Dulwich Hill a hawthorn is a plausible candidate.

Anyone from the Ivy house on here? Sounds like you might have a market for a screening night?

There is always a few coins on Blake's gravestone

Sadly Gilchrist apparently felt no need to cite sources. Original text here:

[amended to note that in earlier posts which I had not read in full, I appear to have been significantly outgeeked. Nonetheless, Happy Birthday Blake.]

I checked with ED PH, who replied:


"I'm afraid we don't really do screenings on demand as such. We sometimes do

one-off screenings of certain film, but it's not the easiest thing to get.

However we do have a partnership with ourscreen ,

a platform that allows anyone to programme a screening, and if enough

tickets are sold, then the screening goes ahead. You can find more details

about how it works here . I have

had a look for *Public House* and they don't seem to have it in their

catalogue yet, but they are very receptive to suggestions and if you drop

them a line they might be able to

source it for you."


I thought it would be best to check first with the film makers whether

there would be any availability (?format) problems. The automated

response says they only check their email sporadically now, so there

may be a wait. I'll be back when I hear from them.

What an absolutely brilliant idea. I'll drop an email to the filmmaker (who I interviewed for the programme).

You are evidently easily alarmed / excited - might I suggest a calming cup of tea and a regular walk?

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ?

      Just found these matches!

      Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By Sue · Posted

      The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
