When I was a Child, I lived in Peckham...


On the corner of Radnor Rd and Commercial Way was a covered Yard where they cut up Horses..


They wern't slaughtered there.. (Least I don't think so) .


The carcasses came in trucks and was butchered there. The smell in the summer was awful.


I assume the 'meat' was destined for pet food, but being just after the War, 1950's

was it possible it would of been for human consumption. ?


Bones used to make Glue ???


Anyone live in that area at that time and remember it.


Fox..


PS. Anyone still up for a Nice Rare Burger.. ?

Changing the subject, I've worked on farms and unavoidably smelled the animals.


On a scale they are:


Human shit, awful, (I didn't work on a human farm, but I've chuffed it)

Chicken shit, ghastly, the smell of fear

Cow shit, tolerable

Goat shit, negligible

Horse shit, aristocratic

    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…      
    • Nice that the drinks have started up again. I used to arrange them when they first started and I met some good friends through them. We used to get 30+ people going at one point. The karaoke night at The Wishing Well was very memorable!
    • Yes, absolutely! in comparison to now, you are 100% correct!
