I have pm'd you.

Doesn't seem very professionally advertised, considering they deal with very confidential data and information.

I also saw a tiny one which sounds similar to what you've seen on a path near Firemans Alley/Dulwich Park. tiddles Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Saw the teeniest tiniest bird on the path next to > the bowling green in peckham - def not a wren or > long tailed tit.

Just realised your thread is called 1994 but here goes anyway.. There was a fruit and veg shop and a butchers shop on North Cross road, where they sliced bacon and cheese off the block and they had sawdust on the floor. On Lordship Lane there was a takeaway chicken shop where Gelato shop now is. Next to the Robert Carder shoe shop there was a shop selling old doors and antique fixtures, fittings and fire places and bits and bobs. George Dourof owned the carpet shop. 'Carpenters'fruit and vegetable shop took 2 shops up where GBK is now. 127 lordship which is now Olivelli restaurant was a bag shop called Haywoods, owned by Mr and Mrs Haywood in the 1950s. Next door to the carpet shop there was a photographic studio back in the 1950s. Rouiller White was a hairdressers and before that was a travel agents that did coach holidays.

Lived here all my life, where on earth is Dulwich square! Is it another newly made up pompous name?

There were also 2 Off Licences on Forest Hill Road (on the corners) and a fruit stall in the middle of the pavement outside the laundrette.

yes dbboy that's the butchers, Linghams! I remember the electric fly catchers that they used to have in the shop:) Later Linghams moved to Peckham Rye (where the Blue Tit hairdressers now is I believe) I also remember the bakers, owned by the same chap who had a bakery in Dulwich Village. jeans shop - yeh you're right otta ...shudder to think... :) dbboy Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > - the butchers shop with sawdust on the floor on > Forest Hill Road (along where Beauty Plus is) Was > it Linghams > > and the bakers which followed

When you remember - the barber shop opposite the police station on crystal palace road (Upland road side), the barber used to shave all the beards of the police officers from the station with his 2 daughters giggling as they lathered the policemen's beards. - the slipper baths in Dulwich public baths - Gordons greengrocers (where the turkish greengrocers is now on forest hill road) - the little indian sweet shop on Forest Hill Road - next to Jonathans newsagents - the jeans shop at the back of Dulwich police station on Lordship Lane...what went on in the back? - Waverley school girls having to wear their red netball skirt and kit, on the main road on Peckham Rye - the butchers shop with sawdust on the floor on Forest Hill Road (along where Beauty Plus is) - 7.11 opening up and being the cool shop to go to..and yes the slurpies - the tyres that you would jump on in Peckham Rye Adventure Playground, before the days of health and safety.:))

I wonder how many people on this thread actually have family graves in that area? I do, 2 generations, and would certainly like my relatives to have the dignitary of being able to rest in peace. Does anyone know how can I make sure that my family graves will 'not' be demolished?

yes I thought the same too - what saffron said.

Does anyone have a copy of Friday's Metro newspaper? Thank you

What's with the metal newspaper holders in the luggage space on buses. This limits luggage space and creates more traffic in the aisle. Wasn't the luggage compartment meant for luggage?!
