Hi there

I was wondering if you could help. I am restoring and researching a dolls house, built around 1859.

Its called Goose Green House and was a copy of a large house that stood in or near Goose Green.

Can you advise me where I might find further information about this house.

Regards

Trevor

Try getting in touch with John at Chener Books


There were a string of large houses along what is now the south side of Goose Green, so it could have been one of these.


The last one (when I lived there) was subdivided in to flats and operating as a local taxi firm at the eastern corner of Oakhurst Grove and East Dulwich Road. Almost the entire east side of Oakhuest Grove is built in what was originally its back garden.


However, I don't know the dates it was built, or even if it or the taxi firm are still there now.


I've attached a kmz file for a Google Earth placement if that helps?

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By mac4 · Posted

      I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.

      Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property

      I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
