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:


Beetle

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!

    • I just tried to "like" a post and I got a message saying I could not add any more reactions today. Is this a new rule, or have I just been more restrained in the past?!  No idea why that last bit is underlined . ..
    • I have swum in it several times since it's reopened.  No problems.  The sand stuff is a bit off-putting but like all pools they'll have to test and log the water quality regularly so I think it's unlikely to be a health issue.  The water is clearer than a pool I use regularly near my work - also with no issues.
    • After looking through a few decorator recommendations on here and getting some quotes, I hired Kam to paint ceiling, walls, door, skirting etc in my hallway and bathroom. Really happy with the results and the experience with Kam. He is professional, friendly and polite: someone I was happy and comfortable to have in my home (I live on my own and this is not always the case) and implicitly trusted to be there when I was away. The price was reasonable, his communication was great and he was patient with some changes I wanted to make and willing to try painting tiled floors with a particular paint I found and worked meticulously to get a great finish with it and all aspects of the job.  He also went above and beyond to tidy up some painting jobs I'd done myself. Thoroughly recommend.   Kam: 07949507412 email: [email protected]
