Unsure of age but we have had this chest for many years. Currently used in our eldest's bedroom. You can fit A LOT of clothes in it's 4 large drawers.(or toys, or linen or anything else you want to hide away!)

Showing it's age (in a nice way!) there are of course some marks, blemishes and patina on the wood. The top left corner is lifting slightly where the old screws/nails have loosened (someone handy could easily fix back down I'm sure).

Yours for ?50 (or nearest offer)

Dimensions are

122cm wide

107cm tall

56cm deep

Based in SE23 near the end of Brenchley Gardens. This will not fit in most cars so please check if you'd like to purchase.

Thanks!

- Injured fox on Crawthew Grove

  Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an animal in need, however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.
- Austin's furniture store, Peckham

  My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'! She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s. Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it. Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road).

  Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
