jamiemck Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hello all,I lived in East Dulwich around 2015/16, and one of the things that always stuck with me was the regular sight of hand-written posters pasted up around the area, although they seemed to be mostly concentrated around Goose Green. They were neatly written, political and religious in nature, terse and sometimes cryptic in wording, and were often accompanied by newspaper cuttings. They referred to themselves as The People's Noticeboard and would say things like:HOW MANY LUNG BREATHING THINGS WITH NOSTRILS NOT ABOVE FOUR INCHES FROM THE GROUND DIE OF LUNG CANCER? ANSWER VERY FEW.They would often sign-off with a request for people to write to the Queen directly at Buckingham Palace. I've done some searching online but can find no reference to the posters, although this may speak more to my googling skills than any lack of existing evidence. Does anyone have any memory of these posters? Do you have picturs of them or perhaps even an original copy of one? Are they still being put up? Has anyone looked into them before? And does anyone know who was responsible for creating them? I've attached a photograph I took of one of the posters during my time there if it helps to jog memories. Any information would be of use.Thanks,Jamie Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/282880-remarkable-posters-around-goose-green/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartblock Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Were they also all over the hoardings in Barry Rd near the Barbers at the Peckman Rye end? Also pictures ....same style. I was always entertained on my walk to the Rye.

elloriac Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I remember seeing them on the Gardens bus stop shelter. I haven't seen them for a while.

jamiemck Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Yes! They were all over it all the time. Here's another example. Are they no longer around?
