Turners in Barry Road

Townley Road is the local District Nurses base.

I went to Friern from 1961-68, Remember Mrs. Davis and Miss Herbert, Form teacher for 2 years was Mrs. Lutz an older lady who was a Quaker and lived in Lewisham. As I had a disability she ensured that I was treated well (no bullying around at that time) Remember that the class went on a trip somewhere in London and got soaked. In the annexe there was a classroom with an open fire- Mrs. Lutz herded us in there (it was not used as a classroom) and dried our coats and heated up all the mini bottles of milk so we could have a hot drink. She kept in touch with me when I went up to the Upper School (Goodrich Rd) and long after I left school and she retired wrote to me regularly, She moved to the Quaker Village in Bournville nr Birmingham with her husband and enrolled in various classes( I recall she did American Literature). We wrote usually Christmas time and she was aware that I had a daughter in 1973 and enquired after her. She was well in her 80s by that time, widowed but still interested in the world. I assumed that she had died when I did not get a Christmas card and letter (1975ish). Remember - Jackie Harvey, Irene Gane, Waverly Braithwaite,. Jenny Bishop Pat Old, Jennifer Snell, Diane Richardson, Maxine Braithwaite(?) Penny Allen, Gillian?. Miss Thompson Head Mistress with her chintz suits, Mrs. Pringle deputy who became Head. Miss Reese, Miss Vine, Mrs. Balinas (History)

Graham was the self employed osteopath at The Gardens a few years ago. I saw him twice and he gave me acupuncture as well. I knew he lived quite far out (near/on the coast).

I used him to pump up my tyres as have difficulty in bending always gave him some money as he was so helpful.

I am at The Gardens. I saw GP on a Wednesday and he recommended physio, he checked availability and offered Tessa Jowell Centre for Saturday at 1 pm or Forest Hill Road Practice on a Monday at 11 am. I chose FH- very efficient/ Physio at FH very helpful, sent me some neck exercises and referred me for spinal assessment at Kings.

Local History Library in Southwark has lots of information.

Most surgeries have catchment areas - whereabouts are you? Have been with The Gardens for over 20 years- I do not make appointments on line and prefer to do this by telephone or in person. They have a pharmacist attached to them who rings up to check if medication is appropriate or if any concerns. Practice nurses are very friendly and efficient.

Apparently cameras are going up shortly which will capture registration plates and drivers will receive a fine.

Try Niko - plenty of reviews on EDF. He dealt with our antiquated water system (old high level toilet)

Buses, emergency vehicles and a couple of other categories will be exempt. Cyclists will continue to be able to use the street both ways.

According to my daughter and granddaughter- the Portsmouth area is very reasonable for rental properties and house purchases. Friends fed up with London prices have moved to the outskirts of Portsmouth and commute to London once a week. They are currently renting at less than half the cost of their London rental and are now saving up to buy a property. Also try Durrington on Sea and Goring by Sea in West Sussex. Train stations near by, good local shops and schools. Roughly a couple of miles from Worthing Town for a larger shopping area. Loads of hypermarkets (Sainsburys. Tesco. Aldi. Asda) Plenty of Garden Centres. Rustington is also a good area .

Etherow Street will become a school street soon. Will affect St. Anthony's especially since they have a wide catchment area and children are dropped off by parents on their way to work. Inconsiderate parking has always been a problem - my daughter attended there in the late 1980s/early 90s. Members of the PTA took turns in trying to monitor the situation and were frequently verbally abused.

At last week's SNT meeting- it was highlighted that phone theft was high in ED especially the area around ED Station. Best not to use phone in street, if you have to make a call go into a shop doorway. Keep phone in pocket or bag .
