wow, bonkers.


I love the bit about trying to encourage 15 year old girls to stay on in education being followed by:


'domestic science is useful for a girl. It's useful right away when she marries, but it may be equally useful to a bachelor girl doing a job first.'

Great stuff! Remember being taught 'Domestic Science' at Kingsdale in the early 70s!


Was married in St Giles, Camberwell. Grubby looking on the outside but another world on the inside.


Part 1 very interesting too. I remember the caf? in Ruskin Park where you could get an ice cream and sit outside. It was just near the bandstand.


I was born in 1963 so the films of the area my parents and husband's parents grew up and lived in was very interesting.

    • Thought it had been a fish and chip shop at one time?
    • Try Gentrification, those with more money than sense who constantly want something different, when pie and mash isn't good enough for them.  "Argentinian Cornish pasties" give3 me a proper Cornish pastie any day of the week, at least I'd be supporting something traditionally British.   ps. tin hat at the ready........................🤣
    • You really have to go and look at the schools yourself, and do some research. My children went to the same school in different years and had very different experiences. Different school focus on different things. It's very personal. We bought close to the school I wanted to go to, and then moved a bit later, when they were old enough to travel on their own.
    • Not even remotely close to the catchment for charter north over there and would imagine outskirts of east (tho should check recent years). Would leave the Harris’s as more guaranteed options so maybe have a look at those and see if you’d be happy with them as a fallback
