When I first moved to Dulwich which was way back in the prehistoric days of 1987 and houses could be bought for chump change there was a notorious case of two old guys living together in a basement flat in Hindmans Road. One of the guys dies of natural causes and his 'friend' continued to collect his pension for 9 months and the body of his friend was eventually found mummified in a chair in his kitchen. The smell eventually became so strong forces were mustered to check it out and the horrific situation was finally revealed. Does anybody else remember this as it was pre-internet days it is seemingly unremarked on the web.


Sounds like the old gits !

Hi ibilly99,


Yes, we moved here in 1980 and my wife remembers that story very well - a true story we believe. We think that Selma is right to say that it was near Tyrell Road because only those houses have basements.


Does anyone remember the old lady that had a little shop in Upland Road, opposite the current second hand shop and near the corner of Darryl Road? The shop has since been converted to a house after she left and later passed away, but she lived in a flat above at the time. She was a psychic who many people travelled miles to see and bred dozen of poodles. Her husband was Indian and died from mercury poisoning. The shop had a display of weird and wonderful books and objects, quite a curiosity at the time.


Cheers.

you don't want to know where you live? how ever do you get home after work?

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
    • Used John to plaster the hallway ceiling in my house, he arrived on time and did the job to a very high standard. He tidied up after himself (my wife was super impressed) . The price was as agreed and I could not recommend John enough. I would 100% use his skills again.
