Anyone remember Video Film Hire?

Video Rental shop on Lordship Lane?

Near the roundabout opposite EDT?


I do years ago as a kid, waiting on Saturdays for them to open up in the morning to pick up a tape or two for the weekend, the days of block buster video ect, a gone eara but well remembered. Place closed years and years back.


Well I was horrified that when I found these in a huge bin in Harfield Gardens estate a year or two back, 100's of tapes in there, but I noticed there in the bundle, knowing these are ex-rentals, and found the actual Video Film Hire 'take home with you with the tape inside' box, was so elated to see this again after like 20ish years ago, so fought I'd save the ex-rentals (most or quite a lot of these) and the take them home and save from landfill.


Most of them are kung fu movies, and to be honest not my cup of tea to watch, but sure the good people here, someone would like to have, so thought be nice gesture to offer these back here on the ETF first to those who may want to enjoy and worship once more. Or I'll Freecycle if not taken.


Please see pics.


I will keep the 'take home with you' box but will photo copy, and/or email a high res scan if you like, I may even put on here next day or so.


So own a piece of video rental history of East Dulwich!


please pm me, all to be taken at once, would need fairly large box/bag. Collection only please. Would prefer a VHS enthusiast ect to take. Condition unknown but sure most would be ok to play again. I have not watched any of these/or played them. They come in condition as I found them. I've only watched some of these titles by using other formats.


Free to collect and take away! :)

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
