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.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
