In case anyone wants to know more about the Marmite factory and finds this old thread... There was indeed a Marmite factory at 52 Camberwell green - where the surgery is now, on the North side. It is listed as being there in one of the old Kelly's directories.

Emilydrab We went to look at Deptford Green school back in September and really liked it. For a start it is not an academy (incredibly rare these days) and when we asked, the deputy head say they have no intention of getting academy status. To me, it felt like a down to earth, unpretentious school. Their existing school buildings were old and in need of updating and they were hoping that the new school building (which looked great but not finished when we saw it) would attract more applicants. They had a nice way of easing primary kids into secondary school (certain lessons were taught by the same teacher, similar to primary school) and their provision for dyslexic children looked really well-thought out. Every child had access to a laptop. I wouldn't be at all surprised if people started noticing it and it became a highly sought after option.

Albert - are you sure you are not confusing the Green Dale path with the Wanley Road path? The pedestrianised section of Wanley Road is barely long enough to fit a flasher in?

Dog Kennel Hill Open Space is the tiny park and wood to the right of Sainsburys car park on Dog Kennl Hill (next to the adventure playground). 18 months ago the newly formed Friends of DKH Wood successfully campaigned for the council to *not* cut the wood down as part of their Cleaner, Greener, Safer fund. The council have now secured a further round of funding and this time have teamed up with the London Wildlife Trust and come up with more plans for the area. The deadline for comments to the council is this Friday (6th Jan). All the documents and contact details can be found here: http://www.friendsofdkhwood.org/2012/01/new-plans-for-dkh-open-space/ Please send your comments and ensure that the council spend the budget wisely.
