Gentle ‘gentrification’ in an area of East Dulwich: online local history talk from the Dulwich Society,

In 1898 Charles Booth surveyed East Dulwich as part of his studies of poverty in London, and defined many streets in East Dulwich as a mix of poverty and comfort. Into the 1970s housing in East Dulwich, east of Lordship Lane, was approaching 100 years old. One small part of the area was declared a statutory housing action area (HAA) to concentrate resources on improving properties and helping households. Current research in a small Study Area, including a part of the HAA, looks at the area over time and considers its sustainability for the twenty first century.

About the Speaker

Julia Atkins, now retired, has conducted housing policy research for local, London and national government for over fifty years. She had research responsibility for the Pellatt Road Housing Action Area, when she worked for Southwark Council.

This is an online talk, tickets are £5 and all proceeds go to Bell House educational projects. Tuesday 4 April, 8pm. For bursary places please email [email protected]. Book here:. https://www.bellhouse.co.uk/events/2023/4/4/gentle-gentrification-in-an-area-of-east-dulwich-with-julia-atkins

  I disagree with the who concept of tidying one room at a time. I find it's more effective to increase the overall level of tidy by 10% regularly, and take regular breaks. Always straighten your bed first - your bed is your priority and your haven. Change the sheets if you have clean ones to use. 1. pick up all rubbish around the house; take it out. 2. pick up all crockery etc that needs a wash: put it all in one place and start to sort it out. Wash and dry whatever you can put away easily. Wash things by type - I'll do cups then plates, then cutlery, then pots..... 3. Kitchen surfaces - tidy things you can, be ruthless - everything is going to need a home. Sweep the floor, wipe the surfaces. 4. Pick up all laundry around the house. Start to sort it out so you are in control of it - wash types together - eg all sheets. 4. bathroom - so on..... Then, the entire house is an better environment. and you can just keep going.

  There was me overcome with memories of articles in women's magazines from the 1950s advising their readers how to be a good housewife and thinking it's like feminism never happened. Until I read the last paragraph. Be warned, this is PR from someone who runs a cleaning company.

  Carpet can be a pain at times, the maintenance takes effort. I’ll look into that spray as a handy in-between for freshening things up. Steam cleaners are becoming more popular too and definitely seem more hygienic than a mop and bucket.

  I've found it quite a useful thread. Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them. https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders
