I've lived at the estate end for 12 years and never had a problem, it's actually a pretty quiet estate, the usual little gangs of teens hanging about on a summer evening but not trouble makers. I'm always back and forth from Sainsburys and the station and I honestly feel safe (I am female BTW!) at all times of the day! The little block at the end is due to be demolished at some point and replaced with another block. It has squatters in at the mo, but they're quiet and have even brightened the place up with flowers and plants! Oh and house prices down this end aren't affected by the estate at all!!

Hi Bob, Not sure if you were questioning my dire spelling:-$ Or what I meant by fashionable? If the latter, I meant, when I was a child everywhere I looked people were walking dogs, then the dangerous dog act was introduced and gradually, there just weren't so many dogs about, now every other teen on the street has a staff or similar with them, and lo behold, dog poo everywhere! If the former - I apologise!;-)

Ditto! Now dogs are 'fashonable' again, I spend all my time stearing my children around bloody dogsh*t! Makes me sick!!

I just recieved the email from DogLost and know a lot of other people who are registered so hopefully that will help. Will keep my eyes open. Hope he's home and safe soon!

Aaah it is indeed Victorian, so you may well be right, Thanks for that! V

I'm pretty good with local history and know alot of the origins of ED road names but have never found out ours? Anyone know the origin of Ivanhoe?

I used to deliver papers there when I was about 10! The courtyard is pretty cool! B)

Shame:( He brought opera to 'common folk' like me.

STB (If I may call you that!) Thank you SO much for that info! I will print it off for my mum, she's near the cemetary so she can go and have a look round! Vik

Thanks very much for that Nero, I'm trolling through my ED and other local history books at the mo! Vicki

Hoping someone can help me a little here! My mum has asked me to try and find out something for her. She has a friend who's husband is a big fan of Hurling (the Irish sport!) My mum is sure she read somewhere that the 'inventor' of hurling is buried in Camberwell Old Cemetery. But I've Googled and Googled and I can't find any evidence of this. If anyone knows anything about this I would be most grateful for any info! Thanks, Vicki

I saw Paul McGann and his actress Mrs coming out of Sainsbury's t'other day!

Oh and these were the grounds for refusal: Conditions and Reasons for Application Number 06-AP-1642 The proposal would result in a reduction of retail facilities, which would adversely impact upon the vitality of the Forest Hill Shopping frontage, which is contrary to Policy 1.9 'Change of Use within Protected Shopping Frontages' of the emerging Southwark Plan [Jan 2007] and Policy S.1.2 'Secondary Shopping Frontages' of the adopted Southwark Unitary Development Plan 1995. By virtue of its nature and likelihood of longer hours of operation that are outside sociable hours, the proposal could result in the loss of amenity to the surrounding area and residents with respect to noise pollution that would be contrary to Policies 1.9 'Change of Use within Protected Shopping Frontages' and 3.2 'Protection of Amenity' of the emerging Southwark Plan [Jan 2007] and Policies E.3.1 'Protection of Amenity' and S.1.2 'Secondary Shopping Frontages' of the adopted Southwark Unitary Development Plan 1995. The proposed change of use, to include take-aways and deliveries will lead to additional traffic and parking in an area that is already heavily parked and consequently may be detrimental to road safety and the movement of essential traffic, particularly buses. An A5 Use Class also increase the risk of double parking on roads and would generate a greater volume of short term parking. This would be contrary to Policy 5.6 'Car Parking' of the emerging Southwark Plan [Jan 2007] and Policy T.1.3 'Design of Development and Conformity with Council Standards and Guidelines' of the adopted Southwark Unitary Development Plan 1995.

Hiya, found this in planning applications: 124 FOREST HILL ROAD, LONDON, SE22 0RS Proposal: Change of use from off-licence (Class A1 retail) to hot food take-away (Class A5) on ground floor including alteration to shop front to allow separate street access to upper parts rather than via rear entry; Extract duct to kitchen at rear extending from ground floor level to above eaves in height. This was refused though in March this year, and nowt applied for since then. Great, another takeaway!

That's what I tend to do, as even when the machine is working or the office open, there is often a queue. There's shop less than a minute from the station!

We seem to have a problem too, we are in Ivanhoe Road, and under the Camberwell sorting office. We never get post before 11, more often around 3 and sometimes not until 5! I had a parcel posted to me last Tuesday 1st class which still hasn't arrived. We go days on end with no post at all, then get it all at once. At least 4 times a month our post goes to the same door number but in a different Road (differnt postcode aswell!) We get their's too. And to top it all off, I got home today to find my post - a parcel and 2 letters, left on my doorstep! In full view of the street!!

Alas no:( But as a child I 'scrumped' blackberries from graves in Camberwell Old Cemetary - Does this count?

It was The London Clock Company. I worked there for a while, apparently McDonalds had their eye on it before the Clock Co had decided to sell up! The bottom picture was used as the warehouse when I was there and was still mostly intact, including the curtain on the screen right up to demolition, I always found it a bit spooky being in there! You could easily have got lost in there! It is Keyworker accomodation now,

Oh Oh Oh... Is it Upland Road? There's sommat in front of a house there, I do seem to remember a few similar houses around there years back?!:-S

>:D

Women feeding babies? Whatever next?!!

The time: When baby is hungry. The place: Wherever mum feels comfortable. Get over it, avert your eyes, shop elsewhere etc etc......

Sorry to be totally random and off topic but 'ChavWivaLawDegree' I just saw your link to your green page on another thread and recognised you, I met you yesterday! At the Peckham Pulse with your daughter!!! What a small world! Sorry to thread crash!:-$

Have a great time!
