He wears gold-rimmed glasses.Peckham Police Station are co-ordinating the search, so please call them if you have any information.He is on medication for a heart condition and does not have this with him.He is known to visit Nunhead Cemetery often, so if you are a dog walker, please keep a special look out.Other known occasional haunts are St Thomas' Church, Nunhead, Irish shop on Lordship Lane, cafes and shops in Nunhead, and the Southbank near Waterloo.Many thanks.

Pugwash Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Have you informed Social Services Out of Hours Team? he may already be known to Social Services, but having doneout of hours work, I have experienced general public ringing through with concerns about vulnerable people, specially if they are unable to give details of name and address. Check out with A& E Kings and Lewisham Hospitals( you probably have already done this) Southwark Social Services often get circulated photos of 'missing people'Hope he is found safe and well Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23866-missing-elderly-man-from-nunhead/#findComment-550941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 little piggies Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I'm so sorry to hear of your missing grandad. You've probably done this already: put posters up at all his usual haunts/local train stations/bus stops/shops (even ones that he doesn't use but lots of people do - Sainsburys DKH/co-op Lordship Lane etc.I do hope you have some good news soon, thinking of you.

antantant Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 There is no doubt it's been done already - I have seen the flyers all over the place, from Telegraph Hill to Forest Hill.
