The trees that were sited on the pavement near the curb along many roads are getting far fewer.

How many of you can claim an original tree of many years growth outside or near to your home?

Any idea what Road / Street / Lane / or Avenue (That is named for trees in it ) still has any?

The one outside next door remains today although others I remember have gone.

It's the same tree!

I was always terrified of climbing up that outside staircase perched on very small piers of bricks to the top floor, where my mate lived.

Next door 311 another mate lived, in the war he was seventeen and joined the ARP Wardens, he was in bed one night when an aeroplane exploded overhead and a large part came through the roof, he was killed in the small front bedroom on the top floor.

    • Hi - Have you seen the photo in nivag's post 'Lost cat at Dulwich Hamlet FC'? It looks as if it could be Gigi (assuming she's still missing).
    • Could that be Gigi?   See post of 8 Nov below.
    • As I may have said before those that knew him  at DC who I have met sat similar, but not sure if they are quoting the above contacts or first hand experience.  And of course that he has changed the pronunciation of his surname
    • A detailed account of Nigel Farage's alleged racist and neofascist behaviour while he attended Dulwich College appears in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2025/nov/18/deeply-shocking-nigel-farage-faces-fresh-claims-of-racism-and-antisemitism-at-school Obviously for most the relevant question is if these allegations are true, then is Farage a suitable person for public office? But for Dulwich local yokels (and tbh anyone that's already formed a firm opinion about Farage), the more interesting question might be whether Dulwich College incubated and tolerated pupils' racist and bigoted behaviour at the time? After all, the allegations include that NF and a number of other boys sang songs about gassing Jews and engaged in other bigoted behaviour, that teachers were either present or aware of that behaviour, and that nothing was done. It's remarkable that pieces of the reporting abour 40 years ago mirror some of the allegations about Dulwich College's reaction to some pupils' alleged sexist and predatory behaviour 4 years ago. Minimisation, dismissal, wilful blindness... https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/i-warned-head-of-dulwich-college-about-abusive-boys-five-years-ago-xkxgjftk8 https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/mar/26/dulwich-college-head-warns-pupils-over-culture-protest
