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?

      Lost Cat Henslowe & Underhill Road

      By jfern · Posted

      Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
