Having a clear out as builders undertaking work in the house and found a large bag of silver. Remembered that we found this in my deceased father in law's desk when we cleared out his house 9 years ago!


Consists of 'one shilling' pieces with Elizabeth 11 and George V1 heads on them ( more George) amounting to about ?15 in old money.


'Two shilling pieces - George V1 - about ?50 in old money


Plus one George V coin.


Will the banks take them back to melt down again? Will they give me a small sum of money for them? Does anyone know any charities that will take?


Father in law a bit of a hoarder - even found loads of love letters addressed to him from various women he dated during the war, before he met mother in law. We did not tell her about those letters as he was a ladies man throughout his marriage, even my female relatives thought him a charming and attractive man!!

At one time I collected all the coins made in each year, ( not all sets were produced each year).They are in coin folders. I have hundreds of lesser value ones, as I found a better one I then saved the best.

I still have them but cant afford to continue collecting.

Look out for a 1905 Half Crown Edward 11. Very few made. Worth ?52 to ?650 depending on grade. That was in 1970.

    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
    • Was it the two proxy votes that had swung it for Cllr McAsh in the first round? Interesting that he lost by two votes in the second. One wonders what the next move for Cllr McAsh is and whether the infighting will continue between the various factions within Southwark Labour?
    • Has anything emerged as to how the reported misinterpretation of rules ruling out proxy votes occurred, or what the specific fault was?  I've found and looked through https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Labour-group-model-standing-orders-2023.pdf, which afaics seems to be a prime relevant document.  It allows for local council Labour groups making minor amendments to cater for their council's particular form of organisation.  I've not seen any _explicit_ mention of proxy voting in the model SOs document itself.  I'm  attaching my notes on it.     re_Labour-Group-Model-SOs.txt
