Hello. My elderly father grew up on Zenoria Street, Dulwich and as a child had a best friend called Roy Croft. He's keen to try and find him and would love to hear how he is doing or hear from his family. Roy would be in his early 80s now. I know very little apart from that but hoping someone in the area may know of the family or may have elderly relatives who can help? Literally any clues or ideas of where we can extend the search would be amazing. Many thanks, Tori

Hi - just managed to dig out some more information! I think it was 1940 onwards (not sure until when). Roy had a younger brother, Brian, and I think their father's name was Leslie, his mother was possibly Lilian??


Apparently the Croft family might have been lived on Avondale Rise in Peckham, with my father being on parallel Danby Street before they both moved to other addresses. Leslie and later Roy worked for the London Press Exchange [an advertising agency] and were both Account Executives.

    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
    • I made sure to set off a few today just to rile you guys up 😇😂 Always looking for something to criticise 
    • Ugly...maybe..does it bother me..NO! I think its somehow reassuring to see theres still phoneboxes around. East Dulwich may  be getrified but there may well be some elderly people who don't have mobiles and kids who may have lost theirs adults ditto etc etc. I'd rather keep it than lose it...just because i don't use it does'nt mean its not needed.  there are many eyesores in the modern world not all of them as potentially useful.
    • I strongly recommend Balayage salon in Lordship lane as everytime I visit,they make me feel very spicial with thier profisionalism and care.   I have been going there for the last 10 years maybe more, and will never exchange them for any other. They are profisional, welcoming and they also always have an offer. I feel like a new woman every time. X
