So Macroban, are you going to tell us where the photos are from? I would be really interested to see if there are any photos of our street, Hindmans Rd. Our house and the one it is attached to date from around 1855, a doctors surgery and residence and the coach house. Servants quarters were added on the other side in 1900. 1855 is quite early for around here.

EDmummuy,


Nothing special here. I did some scans a couple of years ago, and in an idle moment I decided to share a few of the more interesting ones.


Isn't there a postcard of Hindmans Road with a horse-drawn milk-cart in view? I'm pretty sure I've seen that some time in the past.

Here's a picture of Ady's Road: "a good example of the second phase of Peckham's suburban development, ... designed for members of the lower-middle class and skilled artisans."

Note the early horse-drawn Bugaboo.

I bought a copy of the Cyrstal Palace Road photograph from the street market in Bromley earlier this year. Can't remember the name of the seller but they had lots of old photos of various places in and around London. I'll try and find out who I got it from.

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
