That's nothing. Bellenden Road has - in all seriousness - been previously described as "The French Quarter" by estate agents.

Though there is a local history of Huguenot French cloth workers in the area, hence some of the French street names and French surnames in the ?dissenters corner? of Nunhead cemetery. The Belham named their classes after types of cloth as a nod to the local history.


Edited to add - calling it the French quarter is still of course ridiculous.

If you look at old maps turn of century 1890s Peckham rye, by Rye Hill Park over to the the cemetery

were known as the Newlands, I have heard Bellenden road refered to as Peckham village.

But as a kid, living in what now is Nunhead it was Peckham, Nunhead village was Nunhead green.

I think names to tempt new buyers, and Peckham had a bad name

I was told by one of the Friends of Nunhead Cemetery people that it is the Western corner that runs along Linden Grove. It starts at the Scottish Martyrs memorial and is where the non Anglicans (e.g. Methodists and other non-conformists) including my great-great-grandparents are buried.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
