I would check that you have in fact been switched over to paying on usage rather than the old fixed rate system with an annual increase. We had a meter installed 18 months ago but had to request paying on metered consumption.

Latest announcement from Royal Mail outlines their plan to seek franchisees for 108 crown post offices, East Dulwich amongst them. The plan though is subject to government funding. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/full-list-post-office-branches-110823795.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHUBCvLQyK1GoPmnCSipH5DgciEwdPBpLoiKPhgBx1NLmmE0rC-7qZwjZWuK6TkFLkOqr48IXmho7qYa7Nvu5pU0w9P3qxA-un961hitQYRLgmAdblH1S7mA_gbSJvb_TIkcqrqENDQWFkzUcl7fqI0fGVK9XC72lyyplmwCdaHS

Does Michelle, or is it Belair House, understand the meaning of the word 'sacred'? I'm guessing you'll be pleased to give full details and make a booking for anyone interested in attending

Launched today a new poster featuring Dulwich Picture Gallery in the Great Days Out series from Transport for London.

I'm in East Dulwich and heard them in the distance and also wondered what they were celebrating.

You could always hear the horses late Saturday afternoons returning from policing the Millwall games

Oh dear, OP's forum history shows 1 April to be their preferred posting date

Hmmm ...

This is interesting and I wish the service well. But the biggest problem appears mostly to be with incoming mail which gets as far as the sorting office and then appears to be only randomly delivered to final destinations in East Dulwich. Is City Mail able to help with this?

Here's a section from the 1916 OS map showing the building on the corner of Upland Road and Crystal Palace Road as a police station. I'm guessing it remained a fully operational police station until the opening of the purpose built police station in Lordship Lane And an extract from a map dated 1969

Now the site of what's known as The Dutch Estate. Here's a bit of background again from the Dulwich Society website: "The Council acquired the site from the Dulwich Estate in March 1960. The existing old houses on the site were relatively large and, by the late 1950s, were in very poor condition; as their leases were due to expire in 1964. A report at the Dulwich Estate’s Finance and General Purposes Committee on 27th February 1960 confirmed that this land (the sites of Nos. 131-173 (odd) and 90-140 (even) East Dulwich Grove and ‘Lyncote’ and ‘Ferrodene’ Green Dale) was to be leased to Camberwell Council for 200 years from 25th March 1960 together with the benefit of the leases expiring on 25th March 1964. The ground rent was to be £750 up to that date and £1600 per annum thereafter." https://www.dulwichsociety.com/the-journal/winter-2010/dulwich-estate

I received a LARGE parcel last week, definitely delivered by our usual RM van driver and not by Parcel Force and tracked on Royal Mail website. I'm round the corner from Lacon Road and received two other smaller packages last week sent 48 hour tracking which arrived within the 48 hours- despite tracking showing they went from the Midlands via Aberdeen to East Dulwich.

It used to be called the East Dulwich Hotel, here is a link to a photo showing it from 1934 https://www.alamy.com/photograph-of-east-dulwich-tavern-east-dulwich-london-the-main-side-of-the-print-shown-here-depicts-corner-on-view-of-the-pub-the-back-of-the-print-available-on-request-details-trading-record-1934-1961-for-the-east-dulwich-tavern-east-dulwich-london-se22-8ew-as-of-july-2018-owner-antic-image560786129.html Earliest advert I could find is from 1880 which can't have been long after it was built - no sign of it on the 1870 OS map.

Good luck with hoping Andy Simmons will see your message - he hasn't logged in for 15 years

I think it was an estate agent, can't remember which, in my mind they all merge into each other
