I would assume the houses would have originally been lodgings for the park keeper and staff, but I am not 100% certain.

You might like to invest in "Dulwich Park: A park for the people for ever", by Liz Johnson - which I imagine a certain seedy-looking but joyfully non-chain SE22 bookshop may still have. Or if not there, 1 of the village shops.


It was bitterly cold in the park yesterday - only a few hardy souls at the kids playground and a solitary yellow Dulwih Recumbents trike. Amazingly one flurorescent pink rhododenfron is in flower though! And they were sweeping the loose pebbles off the paths at last!

Fireman's Alley runs between Lordship Lane and the South Circular, yes. It's between the BT place (automated telephone exchange??) and blocks of flats. I believe there was actually a fire station where the telephone exchange now is once upon a time. I think the gates all open/close in sequence at roughly the same times of day but cannot say this for certain.
