A Short Trip Through East Dulwich '98.

[Jah Lush]

Before the gentrification.

Nice footage.

[adonirum]

Fabulous, Jah Lush. I'd forgotten all about The Heber Arms Pub.

[Southeast Twenty Stu]

... before speed bumps.

[adonirum]

....before cars it seems!!!! Can't recall E.D. streets being so empty.

[Seabag]

98?

Surely the music is pre that

[Dopamine1979]

All the cars look so old. You sure this wasn't 1988?

[Sue]

Thanks for that, Jah Lush!

Sorry not to see North Cross Road though.

I hadn't even realised there ever was a Heber Arms pub.

I had to turn the music off after the first few bars :))

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Cool!

[Penguin68]

There is a P13 in Underhill Road, so it's definitely post 1988, 1998 is plausible, but I can't believe Barry, (and everywhere else) is so little parked up.

[tiddles]

what is that music????

lovely footage - any more?

[jimbo1964]

I used to like the Heber Arms. One of the sad things about my return to ED was finding in closed.

[Louisa]

Hether Arms was great and also lovely to see the CPT in all her glory.

[Jah Lush]

CPT with the phone booth outside. Before the outside seating too.

The music is by Joe Loss & his Orchestra. Don't know what the track's called.

[katgod]

it says on the Heber School sign that Mrs Padmore was the Head. Does that help date it?

[DulwichFox]

I took my Ex-wife to the Heber one Sunday lunch time.. circa 1983 ?

Very embarrassing when the music started up and The Stripper came on.

Was my first and last visit there. complete S**te hole.

There were children in the bar.. and Strippers. !!

The plaque on the church they film is dated 1997.

[????]

'98 - Blue Mountain, Graces and Thai Corner Cafe all there; East Dulwich Tavern had knocked the bars into one and was possibly even calledthe EDT.....the first stirring had happened a few year's before before this Jah

[Mustard]

So many ancient cars....sure it would have been pre '98, which is just after when I moved here.

Children in the bar? Gentrification must have started then.

[katanita]

Interesting! There is a sign early which says 1997 (on a school listing heads?) on it so is after that.

They had a very big garden.. and the kids were mainly outside but were wondering in and out.

Awwww, the CPT as it was meant to be! I feel like crying.

Judging by the tyre shop at the top of Whateley, 98 seems about right.

You might be right, I'm not sure, but I would have said the whole "EDT" thing was a couple of years later. Remember 2000/01 it was packed with young people in a way that East Dulwich had never seen every Friday and Saturday night.

[????]

Yup - sort of agree Otta they did the wooden floor open space thing that was all the rage (ie All Bar One/Slug & Lettuce/Pitcher & Piano) then but it felt quite half hearted, a couple of yeatrs they did it 'properly'

Nice one Jah.

I remember it well a lovely stroll down memory lane.
