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

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?

      Which Dulwich - East/West/Village?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Big up for the SE23 Massive!  Good discussion on their local forum (which has become a bit more interesting after being in the doldrums for a decade): https://www.se23.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=14870 The Times article is a bit (trying to think of an inoffensive word) but they and the Standard have to fill their property pages with something

      Which Dulwich - East/West/Village?

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      What the Overground has done is transformed the demographics of FH.  Plenty more young families and couples.  I love the green of Forest Hill, this time of year Forest Hill is lovely - it is exploding with green everywhere. One of the other reasons we moved here is we didn't want a conversion flat and places like Penge, Forest Hill, Sydenham and Beckenham have a better range of mid century purpose built private blocks of flats - which was what we wanted for preference. Well obviously for preference we wanted a house,  but not everyone has the OPs budget 😄

      Clean Air Dulwich - who are they?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The point I am making is that rich people will always be able to afford better things in life.  The industrialists who took over from gentleman farmers, particularly on the arrival of the railways, hardly made Dulwich into Welwyn Garden City, Saltaire or Bourneville.  Although you could argue the Dulwich Estate did something like this in parts of the village and West Dulwich in the 60s and 70s. Clean air is a relative term, cleaner air would be better.  From my understanding Clean Air Dulwich are promoting active travel and less car journeys.  Clean air for all, and One Dulwich, are principally against restrictions on drivers.  You cannot get cleaner air without some restrictions on drivers. It's fair to ask who is behind all the groups, although I sense and agenda on this thread.

      New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham

      Ahh, you're absolutely right, I think a few of them on either side of that little green have seats outside.
