My friend tells me this notable piece of classical music was written and first composed by Mendelssohn in present day Camberwell and the "Spring Song" was originally called "Camberwell Green". He allegedly spent his time visiting England between London and the rolling countryside of Camberwell, where he got inspiration for this song? I can't find anything about it online at all, even though my friend claims there is a memorial sundial in Ruskin Park marking the spot where the house stood where he drew his inspiration. Anyone?

    • Luckily I'm at the bottom of the Rye in the Gardens so fortunately not too put out by the noise. I doubt it's very pleasant if you live closer. My issue is about the councils seemingly underhand way of communicating and dealing with local residents concerns and opinions. Basically these type of events go ahead regardless. That to me is a bit snide, dishonest and not how a council should treat its residents. There's a fair bit of damage done to the park and all for the benefit/ profit of a private company and PR consultants/ professional bullshitters.
    • I asked why you go in given that you'd rather it closed because it doesn't provide for your needs.  I have never seen the till not being manned, ever.There are also self service checkouts. Many of the brand sweets and crisps are smaller in size. I guess that's why they cost less to buy.
    • Hi Everyone,  I am an architecture student from the US, and am currently studying the Dawson's Heights Estate. I am having a hard time finding materials to study, so I was wondering if anyone would happen to have any floor plans or other architectural drawings for the building they would be willing to share, or if anyone here could give advice on where I should look?
