Evening all,


I wrote little thing about West Norwood, past and present, that may be of interest to some of you.

I'm ashamed to say that it's full of swearing, sex and drug references. They keep asking me to desist, but I can't, they're my favourite things.


TDR

Saw Star Wars at West Norwood Library in '77 on a primary school trip, moved out of there to ED in '80 due to heroin needles being left in the green outside our house, dad made the right choice. I bet West Norwood has changed a bit, used to drink at The Rosendale in the mid-late 90s when it was a rowdy boozer (the best kind).
My parents moved to West Norwood in '76. I hated it. When we moved there my dad and I did a pub crawl. Jack Stamps was then the Thurlow Arms. I saw Wreckless Eric do a cracking gig there in 1980. The Hope I have to say was probably the only decent boozer around in those days, though The Horns was ok ish. The rest of 'em were all hell holes. As soon as I could afford to leave home and move back to Dulwich I did.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
