I was sitting in ED eating the other night telling my BF about the area and what it was like as a kiddy and suddenly all these shops came back into my head!! Who remembers "Fosters" the jeans shop on the corner of Cyrena Road? Dedes in Underhill Road? Sun Video?? Wow! So many memories!!!

Anyone remember more from the 80's?

Yeah I remember Fosters, the guy was a little to keen to measure the inside leg for my taste, never thought I needed my inner thighs squeezed to get a pair of Lee's on !

There used to be a guy on NorthCross Road near barry road, he would set up a couple of tressle tables and sell 2nd hand stuff outside a couple of closed down little shops opposite the Chinese takewaway. My bedroom cupboard door, bathroom taps, various door handles and an old 1968 Rudge bicycle come from that gent, he used to wear a little sailor cap and had a white beard.

I think I've been to the same shop once a long time ago after seeing an ad on a lamp-post for cheap jeans. Huge amount of porn magazines in back room. It was a black guy who was running the shop. He seemed very persistant to measure my inside leg so I've made my excuses and left.

I go back way beyond the rest of you on this thread! Jeans didn't exist in England in the 1940s! I grew up in East Dulwich and lived at 57 Underhill Road from 1943-1966. In 1972, the property was sold to a developer by my father (who is now 102 years old) and a block of flats was built on the site. I wondered whether anybody had photos of that part of Underhill Road before the flats were built. Our garden extended back from the house and then turned to the left, coming out in a lane off Belvoir Road. It was a large plot, extending behind 51, 53 and 55 Underhill Road and there was a magnificent walnut tree in the garden. I attended St Anne's Private School in Melford Road from 1949-1952 and Heber Road School from 1952-1954. I then passed the 11-plus exam and went to Sydenham High School from 1954-1961. I'm researching my past to provide some information from my grandchildren's history project and would be grateful for any contributions.
Donkeys years ago (1982 to be exact) I lived in ED for a year in Darrell Road (and boy was ED different then...). There was a weird little shop front just as you turned into Upland Rd from Darrell Rd, with some kind of a voodoo doll thingy in front of the dustily curtained front window. I never saw the shop open but imagined some weird black magicky stuff went on in there http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/animated%20emoticons/Evil%20Animated%20Emoticons/evil%20bat.gif

    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
