in fact I think I've a photo of us in a GLB thingy somewhere...

Ha! I just came across this string this morning, was getting ready to say that I remember Miriam - and there you are! I'll pm you... :-)
-
Yes, the Midland was what it was called... I only remember one Lockhart's, which was Mrs Lockhart's, but I can only talk about 20 years later than 1930...

I remember the eclipse, only vaguely, as I'm a little bit younger. I was also at Heber, as were my sister and brothers before me, and can assure all of you doubters on here that Mr Funnel was indeed the science teacher and Mr Heester the head (we thought we were terribly witty calling him Easter Egg behind his back, groan). The music teacher was Mr Hatton and my teacher for the final two years there was Mrs Sanderson.

East Dulwich North? Character Area for the PNAAP
geneie replied to Eileen's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
So Peckham (South) should be called East Dulwich (North)?! Oh dear, such snobbery... Not long ago, there were people living in East Dulwich (north) who claimed to live in Peckham... -
Yes, I read that report too, and would love a hard copy! But in the meantime, here's the link to the PDF:- http://services.english-heritage.org.uk/ResearchReportsPdfs/054_2009WEB.pdf

Wow, I didn't know that the adventure playground was still there somewhere! Do you know the history of the first one on DKH? It was a long time ago, when we started holiday playschemes on the estate, then built the first one by the school at the top of the hill....which became the 'permanent' one on the site of the old day nursery.... memories!

Aha! :-) Please come back......

Perhaps you're going to the wrong pound shop? There is more than one, after all.... The wall is at Poundland, at the bottom of Rye Lane, just at the entrance to the Aylesham Centre.

It's still in situ at present, on the Poundland windows/boarding, hasn't been moved yet!!

I just want to say "Thank you" again to the EDSNUB ladies who were sweeping up at the bottom of Rye Lane this morning - I did say it in person, but I think she thought I was making fun, I wasn't, I am sincere; and so so angry that this has been done to my neighbourhood. The lovely African dress designer's shop totally ruined, Poundland for heaven's sake....

Family History in E.D. - looking for memories
geneie replied to The Nappy Lady's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I'm another genealogy nut! I see that Oscar remarried in 1911, at St Mark's Church, Cobourg Road, when he was aged 44, a widower. He married Katherine Dora BEE, a spinster aged 25. His address was 31 Choumert Road, he was a Postman and his father's name was given as James Henry EDWARDS. I'll try to leave census to GSJ57! Cheers Stella -
And now he's going to take a flat on an estate in Peckham - how noble of him. Like nobody else is in greater need of it?

Wasn't there a printer's, too? I remember watching them at work, in a half-basement, somewhere along by Kellaway's? I remember the Launderette opening, my mum was very sniffy about it, on the corner of Pellatt Road. Dourof's carpet shop must have been there by 1959, as I used to play with their daughter, not sure of her name for the moment.

I can remember Welton's, the newsagent's (did a paper round for her for many years), also Beszant's the ironmonger's.
