Thanks for the kind welcome, ianr. To be specific, the smell has been lingering for a couple of weeks now, if not longer. It's an unpleasantly bitter odour, with sharp notes of sour rot. I recommend having a whiff for yourself as it is quite hard to describe. @DulwichFox have you any idea as to what it could be?

I Live at the Whately Rd end of Ulverscroft..


There is often bad smells at the Northcross rd. end. Stale/Old oil possibly from Chip Shop waft in the air.


Other food smells on Market day can be very unpleasant but do not reach my end.


Discarded Fish boxes left opposite the Palmerston over night..


Not Pleasant ..

The hairdresser's on North Cross Road is nowhere near Ulverscroft Road.


I have never noticed any smell outside it.


What I do notice however is a persistent faint smell of gas on North Cross Road at the mural end, near Superdrug.


I have been meaning to report it for weeks.

That's a barbers, isn't it? Are they called hairdresers now?


If so, profuse apologies for my outdated knowledge :))

Apologies, I meant outside the barbers. However, I have always used the terms' hairdressers' and 'barbers' interchangeably - is that wrong? What are the differences? Who cares? Perhaps that's a topic for another thread... But for now, the scent still doth linger and spoil the fragrance of festive cheer! Bah Humbug!

Yes!! It abated for a while, and is now back with a vengeance. It smells like vomit to me.

I'm so sorry, I think the issue could be down to my small dog, or otherwise, me. He is a black terrier cross, and I'm blonde and about 5'7". He has a constipation problem and walks like a gunslinger while I have the opposite and shuffle like I'm trying to post letters on the Generation Game. If you recognise our description approach with caution, as by Underhill Road anything could blow at any time.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      Our camera caught two folks doing this. One of them led me to believe the delivery driver was in on it as he left the package in a very odd place that the thief (who arrived about 10 minutes after from a direction where he could not have seen where the driver left it) went straight to it and took it - but he then dumped it halfway down the next road as clearly packets of freeze-dried food for a DofE award wasn't to his liking (karma sucks!). The second time a guy pulled his bike up in broad daylight, walked down to our door, opened the box, threw the empty box down and stuffed what he had found in his backpack and brazenly waved at the camera and then cycled off. Police asked us to upload his picture but we never heard anything back.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him
