Very Old Pic (Apparently it's an East Dulwich house)


Recommended Posts

The house is double fronted, which narrows things down, and I would guess is set back 20-25 ft from the pavement. This excludes quite a few ED streets. The hill suggestion is supported by the house next door, which looks to be set somewhat higher - the angle is problematical but it looks more like terracing or a semi (are there double fronted semis?) than a detached house.

Looks like it to me too - and I live in one of those houses. They were double fronted homes in those days - were split into half houses later.

I think some in some parts of ED might have been but am sure when I looked at the deeds for mine it suggested they'd been split later. The fact that I still share a water supply with my neighbour would seem to suggest they weren't originally built seperately. Plus the internal front doors are badly placed if they were designed that way - my dad ended up taking mine off the day the removal men brought all my stuff out of storage as when open they block the entrance to the stairs.

Lol, no, was filmed last year - late spring from recollection - was to promote Freeview's summer of sport. Definitely no reason to open windows recently.... hard pressed some days to want to open the door!

Because of the way the land was parcelled (in small lots) in Underhill (down, probably, almost as far as Barry) there is a very eclectic range of architectural styles - normally no more than 5-10 houses in a row before they change. So if it is Underhill (I think that's very likely too, and around Rydeale) it should be pretty easy to spot the house as being no more than one or two possibilities (assuming no subsequent bomb damage).


If you 'street view' on Google Maps 197 Underhill Road (now split into two) it looks almost exactly right (as do the houses up and down the street - but these have more stuff growing in the front garden which blocks the view somewhat)


Edited to say - cross posted with Vik

No. It's clearly a Zeppelin, possibly on the way to Streatham, which would put the date a little later (1915/6?). There again, it might be not be unrelated to the stain running from the top of the picture. Sadly, colour photography having not been invented at the time, it's impossible to tell just by looking, but my money's on Bovril.

    • Hi all, I teach violin, viola and piano in the Dulwich area. Currently I have some availability in the afternoon on Monday and Saturday.   I teach in a holistic approach which encompasses developing technical skills, knowledge in music theory and musicality at the same time. The learning approach for violin and viola differs from piano. The violin and viola lessons place more emphasis on the technical training due to the nature of the instruments themselves. For both instruments doing regular and effective practice is the most decisive factor in achieving an successful outcome. I have had great success with helping my students from 5 years old to adults to develop an effective practice strategy.   Experience has shown that every student develops their musical taste and skill differently, and learning is most effective when they play the music that appeal to them. This is particularly important for the younger students who often need custom-designed short musical exercises that cannot be found in the standard method book to address a particular problem that is unique to the student. Many young students can often overcome the technical challenge when the music is accompanied with colourful pictures that capture their attention. For the more advanced and musically inclined students, I encourage them to proactively look for pieces that they would like to learn, or pieces for which we can develop a learning plan to get them to the required level. I also teach violin and piano in the Park Hill School in Norbiton and therefore I am well-experienced in helping the young students to be receptive about learning music. I organize student concerts in the Dulwich area regularly, and I also organize ensemble groups in collaboration with teachers of other musical instruments to perform in these student concerts. My students have achieved excellent results in competition, successfully applied for music scholarships in second schools and obtained outstanding results in the music examinations. teaching   Please do not hesitate to book a free trial lesson with me or contact me to discuss further if you are interested. You are welcome to whatsapp or call my number at 07477633088, or email me at [email protected]. References are available when requested. I look forward to hearing from you !
    • Hello yes I am listening and many thanks for the suggestions. No the post was not a joke very far from. I have many interests but to be honest interested in talking about most things. i like current affairs, music, theatre, cricket, architecture and people mostly.    I moved yesterday and sorry for failing to respond. would like to set up a group.    best   paul
    • Bowling (Lane 7 or All star lanes), cinema trip plus food, sleepover, karaoke.  Depends what they're into.  Crystal Maze or escape room or if they're sporty there's an archery place near London Bridge / Bermondsey.   With the exception of cinema trip most of those would mean heading somewhere centrally rather than ED though. 
    • You got this. GRRRRR. Can't remember if I've posted that before, if so apologies.
