The photo's I took were back in the late seventies. I will take a look in my Mum's attic to see if she still has them but I suspect they have been thrown out long ago. Best of luck with the web site and archiveRegardsE.D Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21062-barbara-hepworth-sculpture-in-dulwich-park-missing/page/4/#findComment-511344 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nic32 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 What in Gods name makes people blame Romanians? It could have been any low life scumbags. I would have thought immediately white scap dealers. But that would be racist even if I am white. Hey ho!!

Penguin68 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 What in Gods name makes people blame RomaniansI don't think anyone actually means Romanians here - this is all about (well, it probably isn't) the Roma - or what we would call gypsies in the UK - one group of travellers (this group probably originating in Northern India and not, in fact, Egypt). In fact the travellers most associated with the scrap trade are probably the Irish travelling tinsmiths - what were once called tinkers - who had a tradition of metal working and a reputation of not being too careful about the sources of that metal. These have now been grouped (particularly by programmes such as Big Fat Gypsy Wedding) with what are also called Roma - although their backgrounds and traditions are entirely different (other than being travellers). As one of many groups of travelling tradespeople, tinkers were providing a very valuable service of mending and selling small domestic utensils - outwith the remit of the backsmith - they had to travel as there was never sufficent work in one location (other than the very few large towns) to keep them occupied through the year.It has long been traditional to blame certain types of theft on transient individuals - it should be noted that without the very much non transient scap metal dealers who provide an outlet for sales of stolen metal - and without whose cash-based transactions (no questions asked) - this trade couldn't flourish. If there are tinkers still thieving, they certainly aren't themselves using the metal (as the old-style tinker did) - but selling it on to British through and through scap metal merchants.

the-e-dealer Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It has long been traditional for the English to blame foreigners for almost everything. Sadly this is the context in which we find fine young men Like Stephen Lawrence being murdered by racist thugs.

Undisputedtruth Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 It seems the BBC had used the High Street in Brentwood as a backdrop for the Dulwich community.
