Hi all,


Hope this is the right place to post this.


Throughout many generations, most of my father's side of the family has lived in Dulwich. My grandfather was born on Upland Road, East Dulwich in 1926. When I found the address where he was born I tried locating it on Google StreetView but I couldn't find the right house. I notice there is a gap in the houses near a junction and I fear it might have been bombed in the war. Could anybody tell me if 207 Upland Road is in fact there or if it has since been knocked down for whatever reason.


Many thanks

Miles

Number 207 Upland Road was demollished it faced onto Upland Road it was on the corner of Crebor Street, when a new terrace of houses were built they faced onto Crebor Street so I think about four houses were lost in Upland Road.

I dont remember any damage in this area during the War, all I do recall was a small sweet shop near the end on the right facing Dunstans Road. Your Grandfather would have been four years older than me.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
