An introduction to the fascinating world of Victorian funerary symbols as found in Nunhead Cemetery.

A 1.5 ? 2 hour guided walk around the cemetery seeing the most common symbols and also some unusual ones.

The Victorians loved cyphers and symbols and even the chapel?s design may have had a sacred significance which will be discussed along the way

Hear about the true reason behind angels missing limbs, see the only pagan symbol in the cemetery, the language of flowers and more.

Free but donations welcome. Meet at 2.15pm by the flint circle at the Linden Grove entrance. No need to book in advance just turn up.

  Gosh, a mere 61 years since "It's my party". I didn't know at the time that it was QJ's first production. I remember it like last week and probably have him to thank, for beating Spector to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_My_Party

  Quincy Jones Born March 14, 1933, Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Died November 3, 2024 (aged 91), Los Angeles, California, U.S. Simply a musical legend of his time who's contribution to RnB, Soul and jazz music should never be under estimated. Record producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film and television producer. He worked with many of the soul and jazz legends himself, and he has a back catalogue of material I urge you to listen to and enjoy. He will be sadly missed.

  Used Leon for the first time today as our usual electrician was out of London. neighbour gave us his details as we lost all power in the lower part of our house. Fortunately we had a separate circuit for the first floor so could boil up a kettle. Leon when rang advised he could come this afternoon, turned up and checked every thing and got power back on and to call him back if we had any more problems. Reasonable rate considering it was an emergency call out. Nice chap, very helpful, would recommend.

  Hubby went in to enquire re washing a double duvet - cost quoted £20. He paid £25 a few weeks ago of another duvet in a laundrette opposite Peckham Bus Garage.
