South East, South West and North East Sections. Seen them on sale for ?25 each but I doubt whether they are particularly collectable: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?an=&tn=bartholomews%20street%20index%20plan%20london&cm_sp=mbc-_-ats-_-all

Tenner each or all three for ?25

The link has representative pictures.

They will have been opened only a few times, but don't have practical use as they will get quickly damaged. The NE one is a little grubby and missing the back cover, but complete. The other two are very good for the age. They will be as good or better than those advertised in the link.

They postdate 1936 when Crystal Palace burned down, and predate the nationalisation of the railways in 1948, and cost 3 shillings at the time, around ?8 in today's money

I'd mount them and use for cosmetic purposes eg in a community building, shop or pub. But they could look nice in your home too, certainly very interesting. Mounted I expect they would be more valuable too.

- Name of secondhand hifi shop on lordship lane

  There used to be a secondhand hifi & repair shop in the basement of where Love Dulwich Turkish BBQ & Meze Restaurant is at the moment. I'm trying to find anyone who either remembers the name or even has contact details. I'm trying to find someone who can do repairs on an old luxman, B&O, etc. Keeping fingers crossed!

  David Attenborough has also done programmes on this amazing relationship. This is from 2010 but I am sure that there were more recent programmes on the Beeb https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p006ry61 Mummy trees are amazing.
- Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

  Have you considered PIV - positive input ventilation. We retro fitted a Soler & Palau super quiet in-line fan system. This takes cool air from the outside ans is ducted into the loft. It is really quiet and very efficient. It is controlled by a reverse thermostat ie one which shuts the system off when the temperature drops to a set level. We are very pleased with it especially as it costs a fraction of a/c and provides greater flexibility in terms of location of vents and ducting.

  If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.
