I would assume the houses would have originally been lodgings for the park keeper and staff, but I am not 100% certain.

You might like to invest in "Dulwich Park: A park for the people for ever", by Liz Johnson - which I imagine a certain seedy-looking but joyfully non-chain SE22 bookshop may still have. Or if not there, 1 of the village shops.


It was bitterly cold in the park yesterday - only a few hardy souls at the kids playground and a solitary yellow Dulwih Recumbents trike. Amazingly one flurorescent pink rhododenfron is in flower though! And they were sweeping the loose pebbles off the paths at last!

Fireman's Alley runs between Lordship Lane and the South Circular, yes. It's between the BT place (automated telephone exchange??) and blocks of flats. I believe there was actually a fire station where the telephone exchange now is once upon a time. I think the gates all open/close in sequence at roughly the same times of day but cannot say this for certain.

    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
