Hi,

I am an Oral Historian involved with the Elephant 21 project.

I would like to talk to long term residents from the Elephant

Castle area,to record their stories of life around the Elephant

before it disappears.

Does anyone have any relatives or friends who may be willing to help?

It would involve me going to their homes for 1 to 2 hours.

Thanks

Caz

Hi Cas. Can you give more details my family lived in that area for generations but laterly moved further afield, the older ones hAve now passed on, I have an early A to Z road atlas that shows the roads before the mass demolition and new housing built over old roads, I have tried to find an earlier one that showed all the small back streets and courtyards but with out luck, as these long gone pLaces keep coming up as the homes of the family. I did not live there I was born in Camberwell, and lived in Dulwich.

    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas! 
    • That is almost too ridiculous to answer but I'll take the bait. You are comparing a national charity with one branch of a small charity. Cats Protection has around 34 dedicated rehoming centres. CHAT has two, Lewisham & Canning Town and a sanctuary in Sussex. So if Cats Protection have homed 34,000 cats, thats an average of 1000 per branch. From memory this years total so far for Lewisham CHAT was over 980. I saw a few homed this weekend so we may well reach 1000 for this year. The same as Cats Protection. No need for head scratching.    
    • Actually, if it was factory fitted then it's location would be documented. It's the fact that it can be fitted in different places which means that it's difficult for thieves to locate.
