I'm curious to know if there's a map of the old tram routes in East Dulwich. I recently met somebody who once lived in the area as a child and said the tram used to run up Underhill Rd. If you look carefully at the road it appears that the road seems to wear out along the original path of the tram rails. I wonder too if a tram ran down Woodwarde Rd near the library since that road seems to have a similar pattern of potholes.
Ironic that in my hometown of Edinburgh, they spent millions pulling out the tram system after the last war to focus on new roads and buses and are now spending millions of tax payers money putting them back in again. The new ones look a bit different from the old Camberwell trams...see here

There was a tram switch-man's hut on Goose Green next to where the roundabout is now. He changed the points. May also have had some local responsibility for sorting out (tram) shoes caught in the conduits.


The Goose Green junction around the tram rails was built with oak blocks surfaced with tar/pitch.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
