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.

    • That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too. 
    • Standard places haven’t got any? Anyone seen any on sale this week? thanks
    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate?
