We are looking for two other families with young children to get together and rent a house. We have one son who will be 3yrs old in May. We would like to experience living in a co-operative, communal environment, benefitting everyone involved: -children can play together and learn from each other -parents can share skills and childcare -bigger living space and garden -more economical consumption The idea is to rent a 6 or 7 bedroom house so that everyone can have their own space while also having communal areas. Ideally, we would like to live in Brockley/New Cross but we are flexible. This is clearly a long-term plan as we would have to get to know one another and discuss our expectations, so we are in no hurry to move and everything would be very informal to begin with. If you are interested please email Mail-me Post reply -->London Deptford Ruby 11 Feb Deptford Bates House DeptfordDose anyone remember Doreen Blackmore Lily Banbury Audrey Smith June Barker Brian Humberstone Ian Smith George & Violet Granger in the late 50s and early 60s from Bates House Crossfield Street Deptford Post reply -->London Deptford brihum1@yahoo.co.uk 10 Feb ^ Deptford Bates House Deptford Church StreetIf you lived in Bates House can I draw your attention to my posting 6th.

Post reply -->London Deptford Lilian 1 Feb Deptford Oareborou RdCan anyone help please. I was born and bought up in Deptford as was my mother and grandmother. I moved away in 1964. My grandmother lived in Oareborou Rd when she got married in 1896. It was bombed during WW2 and they put prefabs there. I wondered if anyone would know where in Deptford Oareborou Rd was. I have searched maps and can't find it. Please help Thankyou Post reply -->London Deptford curriewilliams@hotmail.co.uk 8 Dec ^ Deptford Oareborou RoadI think I remember Oareboru Road as a kid (c late 1940s), don't ask me how I remember but I think my Cousins and I went to look and play on the bomb sites. Thinking back it was'nt far from New Cross railway station, Woodpecker Road rings a bell. Looking at the current A-Z it could be where Woodpecker Road meets Rolt Street. Maybe it was renamed as the current Trundles Road shown. Post reply -->London Deptford brian 9 Dec ^ DeptfordHi - Oareboro Road is on a map published by Alan Godfrey Maps "Deptford (North) 1894" (map are only £2.25 each) and it is between Woodpecker Road and Rolt Street. Post reply -->London Deptford Connie 20 Apr ^ Deptford Oareborou RoadHi I have an old London A-Z which shows Oareborou Road. It no longer exists but ran from Trundles Road to Rolt Street SE14. The site is now a park called Folkstone Gardens which was always known as the "New Park" when we were kids, perhaps it still is. Folkstone gardens was built on the site of old tenament buildings which were destroyed by a V2 on the 7th March 1945 killing 53 people. this would have been the bomb sites that you remember. Post reply -->London Deptford Matt 5 May Deptford FREDERICK STREETHello Does anyone know where Frederick Street was? Its described in 1898 as being in Greenwich in fact but within St Pauls parish. My family were living within St Nicholas parish from the 1700's but in 1850 my great great grandmother lately widowed moved into 1 Frederick St, I presume it was either demolished by the LCC in clearances or after bomb damage in WWII. Mail-me Thank you Post reply -->London Deptford L Scairff 5 Nov ^ DeptfordHi, I have just purchased an old map of Deptford 1894 and Frederick Street was between Amersham Grove and Edward Street, running paralell with Amersham Vale. I know that the street name changed to Atkinson Street but do not know when. I was born at No. 4 Atkinson Street in 1948.
