Hi everyone.


My girlfriend and I are moving to a flat in East Dulwich tomorrow.


I'm trying to sort out house insurance but I really don't know the date of the building. I've attached a photo of the building.


If anyone who know's a bit about buildings/building history could tell me what decade this building is it would be much appreciated!


Thanks

Welcome to the neighbourhood :)


We live almost opposite and the are a fair few on here who live very close too. My husband grew up here and seems to think the building is late 80's early 90's. It used to be a chip shop pre-war but was bombed and remained undeveloped until this building went up, my husband used to play on the site as a child.

If we work out a more exact year I'll get back to you.

Another Ivanhoe Rd resident here - welcome.


I would have actually suggested the 1970s from the style and condition, but Vik's husband has been around here much longer than me.


Looks like you'll have some new neighbours soon, as the house next door is currently being totally gutted/refurbished...

Hello!


I experienced that refurbishment last week when I 'camped' in the flat for a couple of nights. Thankfully the builders don't seem to start till around 9 and are gone by 6.


When I saw the building I did think 70's too, but as you said Vik's husband probably knows best.


Cheers.

I wouldn't go that far ;-)


I suspect it's early 80's to be honest but that's a hunch, I actually have a photo of the site before it was built on, I don't know what sort of year the cars in the pic are though? I do love a bit of detective work :)

Left to right:

Brown - Vauxhall Victor FD ? 1967-72

Green - is Mark 3 Cortina ? 1970-76

Black - is Austin ?Landcrab? ? 1964-75

Yellow - Morris Minor Traveller van - 1948-71



So based on these dates and looking at the type of cars you get around ED, this photo may have been taken... last week!

    • There’s definitely something in what you say about upbringing, environment, and emotional health. It doesn’t excuse the behaviour, but it might help explain it. I do think low intelligence likely played a role here. People who aren’t taught to value life, whether human or natural, often end up reacting with hostility to the things they don’t understand or appreciate. It’s a sad reflection of both neglect and ignorance. Your suggestion of rehabilitation through something like woodland conservation or sapling planting is actually a lovely and meaningful idea. Let’s hope something good can come of their sentence, though I won’t be holding my breath. Looking forward to meeting you in person at the Forum drinks tonight, and fingers crossed Jasonlondon makes it too. His terrible neighbours really are quite the story.
    • Direct link to livestream of closing ceremony and joint statement:  Today, the conference comes to a close with a joint statement — a historic declaration of collective action in defence of international law and human dignity. At 10:30 Bogotá, 11:30 New York, 16:30 London, 17:30 Paris, 21:00 New Delhi, join the closing ceremony live from the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ceremony will feature Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia; Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories; Zane Dangor, Director General of South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation; Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, Executive Secretary of The Hague Group; and Fillemon Wise Immanuel, Minister of Justice and Labour Relations of Namibia. The centrepiece of the ceremony will be the reading of the Joint Statement — the result of deliberation among participating governments. This statement will echo far beyond Bogotá. It marks a turning point in the global campaign to hold Israel accountable, protect the Palestinian people, and restore the rule of international law. Join us to witness this historic moment.

    • We had the roof on our Victorian terrace replaced in 2023 and were charged just under £12,000, which included new slates, battens, breathable membrane, leadwork, and scaffolding. The cost was mainly due to the complexity of working on an older property and ensuring everything met current building standards.
