following on from my last topic about peckham rye history 70s and 80s

does anyone have and memories of the ta hall during this time?

once a year they booked a coach and we all went on our annual daoy out to margate or hastings.

does anyone remember the childrens band called the mimettes??

was darts nights tues and pool night thurs?

does anyone remember the disco on a sat night ran by jane and donna early 80s?

or the youth club were we painted murals on the small back room walls?

the sports day they held every summer, were we did sack races egg and spoon races etc

yes i remember the mimettes, i was in it we use to travel around pubs and social clubs raising money for charity, we done alot of funraising for kings college hospital, such fun times! My cousin has got video footage of it somewhere, my grandad and dad used the club every friday night to play cards and did so up untill around 12 years ago when they moved out of the area. Not much goes on there these days which is quite a shame. The day trips still occur once a year but not much of a turnout.

omg never thought id find another mimette what is your name and what songs did you do? would love some video if you can send it i have photos i can share.

what was your grandad and dads name? have a feeling i will know them if we were both in the mimettes

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
