There's a great book called something like "The Parish of Camberwell" which was written a long time ago and has loads of interesting info about East Dulwich in it - I used it years ago for a school project. It's thick and yellow and Dulwich Library has a copy of it - sorry, I know that's not much help to Helen up North, but thought it was worth mentioning!
John lives across the street from me and I know he doesn't have internet access at home - so if you have any questions I'd be happy to relay them. I don't know how often he looks at email. I know his books are out of print but I could ask if he has any spares around.

David mc,


Thank you for your offer,but no thank you.


I thought by doing my family history for my grandchildren,that books about East Dulwich, just might have


more information than i have or pictures about certain areas.


Sorry that was a nice offer, and i do not mean to be rude.


But disturbing someone at home! call me old fashion!


Many thanks Helen.

He doesn't mind - he loves to chat! He doesn't have any spare copies of the Illustrated Alphabetical Guide and tracked the last copy he got for someone down from some bookshop in the West Country via the internet! He said he'd revise and reissue it if anyone could find someone willing to publish it. But he doesn't want to make the financial commitment in publishing it himself which is how his books got published before.

    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder    
    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
