Hello,

I found my Grandparents living at No 23 Landells Road East Dulwich in 1911, my father was only 3 at this time, they came out to Australia in 1912. Csn anyone tell me if the house that was there then still exists?

My Grandfather was Frederick Samuel HAMMOND a Fishmonger.

Thanking you & Regards,

JoGo

and you can see the front door via streetmap, its light green with a clear house no. not sure how to save the street view

You might be interested to have a look at a floor plan for that type of house:

Although, I've always wondered whether they were built like this. They date from the 1880's and my impression is that at that time a separate kitchen at the back would have been less common than 1 reception 1 kitchen/diner - the classic 2-up 2-down.

Hi JoGo

What a surprise to see! I actually own this house, I have been living here for 15 years.

When we moved in our neighbours at 25 (Ted) had been born in the house, he has since died, so his family probably knew your grand parents.

The house originally had 3 bedrooms (one of the bedrooms now a bathroom), it would have had 2 rooms downstairs with a separate kitchen, which would have been used to wash/bath in. Toilet was outside.

Let me know if you need information

Hello, Blossom,

What a surprise it is for me to find someone who is actually living in this house. I don't know how long the HAMMOND family lived there for, only that they were there in 1911, I am presuming they were there until they left for Australia in 1912, but how many years before this is unknown. I do know they were not living there in 1901. Frederick Samual HAMMOND married Jane SKINNER-FOX on 3 September 1900 at Camberwell Registry Office. My Father was born on 4 October 1908 in Dulwich, so I think he was living there at this time, I will have to get his full birth certificate to make sure.

Thank you all for such a newsy and helpful forum,

JoGo

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
