I always understood that the large detached house on the corner of Colyton rd & Forest Hill Road was part of the park and therefore had to be used for some kind of community use. It has been a nursery. Today on the market for £3000000. So does anyone know more about the change or the history?

I understand it was the last remaining building from 4 farms, which were bought out to create the park in Victorian times. More space than just the common was needed for the many people who would come out of London for leisure on the weekends.

I believe it's just a private property. The nursery isn't a 'community' project, just a private company.

Alice, with all your interest I am wondering if its a case of 

A) you want to buy the property and want to know its history 

B) you are crying `Curiouser and curiouser!'

C) you are trying to disrupt the sale by finding a clause previously forgotten

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
