Fortunately it's school holidays. Depending what time of day it happened there could have been lots of children around.

They used to allow local residents to collect horse manure for their gardens. There was plenty of it.

Many of the victorian houses in East Dulwich were built speculatively and with poor foundations. They also suffered from heavy bombing during WW2. I wonder how they will cope with the extra weight of loft extensions.

They used to be taken together, but the food waste and the garden waste now have to be kept separate so are collected by different teams.

Agreed. Shop workers would have to waste time turning all the items the right way round.

Dog licenses were abolished in 1987. Before Britain changed to decimal currency they cost 7 shillings and 6 pence which became 37p. They were scrapped as they were unenforceable and cost more to collect than they raised.

Thanks for the warning. I use that junction a lot.

Hi all There is a water leak in the section of Friern Road from Lordship lane towards Goodrich Road. Thames Water are already working in the road replacing mains. Water pressure is reduced in Friern and nearby roads.

Penguin - 4th is a Wednesday!

Pounds, Shillings and Pence. Still remember decimalisation day.

The newsshopper report referenced by Rockets refers to a different crash on Dulwich common on Tuesday morning. A 24 reg car was abandoned all day with its front left wheel hanging off, partially blocking the road in the direction of Lordship Lane.

The nearest one is in Forest Hill Road.

Yes, the gate is open again.
