Don't know if it's related but there's a "Dairy Farm Place" on the north side of Queens Road, just after the station, did that have anything to do with it? Not Camberwell but close...

I believe Dairy Farm Place was built on the site of Hatcham Dairy Farm. At the time the film was made it was within the borders (just) of Camberwell Borough Council so this might be the farm referred to.


ETA. Here is a link to a photo that shows the Hatcham Dairy Farm. The date it was taken is given as 1970 and there is a 'Lease for Sale' sign up so perhaps it was still an operation farm in 1963.

Interesting. That exact film was on youtube a year or two back, and when I tried to find it for a friend recently it was gone. Guess BFI must have snapped it up. It's a great look at the past, and although I wasn't born until the late 70s, it reminds me of a lot of things from my childhood.

    • Crofton Park (borough of Lewisham) has a community notice board which as well as listing councillors is full of notices about local community activities of all sorts and for all ages. It is clean and tidy and only has one small fly poster (attached with one very small piece of tape, and easily removed - I didn't though). Crofton Park also has a lovely little community garden alongside the station, full of flowers, with lots of things of interest to kids,  and also obviously lovingly maintained. I don't know who the land belongs to - possibly the station, though access is via the adjoining road. If Lewisham council/Crofton Park residents can maintain a community notice board, why can't Southwark Council/East Dulwich residents?
