disapointed

Thats amazing - all that i remember is the same! Family of 8 in 72 Buchan Road. Chas, Sid, Ada, David, Pamela and me Brenda. All still alive and well living in London and around!

Yes, I well remember Cutler's, otherwise known as "penny, ha'penny, tuppence" which referred to his sweetie box as he pointed out the different values of the contents. Used to wind him up by asking "how much is that one" which resulted in him repeating the "penny ha'penny tuppence" line while getting more and more aeriated at each new request. Used to love the little black aniseed flavour gums.

if you lived in Evelina road,you must have known the beven family,the pet shop,byfields the food shop,the water troft under the bridge,the bombsite by tapisfield road,the 173 bus,and the 243,bus,sylvia burrows.ayres bakers shop,cheeses the paper shop,the oil shop,charlie morgons rag en bone shop,betty the hairdressers, lots more info. email me.

34 is a lovely little house. It lies back off the street with 3 others. It was owned by a man with a Eastern European name in 1970ish and rented out as the bedroom doors had Yale locks. Many of the houses were owned and neglected by one landlord. As the people aged they got sold. It was 2 up 2 down with a scullery with a copper and outside loo. A little box room above the scullery. The garden is a nice size and was looked after and enjoyed. When my relatives bought 34 the communal path was mud, daylight could be seen through the roof and there was a single cold tap. When doing the garden they dug up an Anderson shelter and sadly a mummified black dog!

EMERGENCY REQUEST / PLEASE SHARE

Hi, I am a single mother with my 3yo son Sacha. I just moved back to London 3 weeks ago but an unexpected event is forcing us to leave our temporary accommodation.

I am looking for a double bedroom to rent in a child-friendly house share in either of these locations; Brockley / Nunhead / Peckham Rye / Telegraph Hill / Crofton Park / Honor Oak

Sacha goes to Sunrise community nursery in Brockley.

£400 to £600 incl bills. (my budget is tight until I get a confirmed job)

Please contact me ASAP if you know of anything suitable.

Hi, I'm looking to trace any info on my grandmother who lived in Nunhead from 1948 onwards . She lived there most of her married life so I figure someone would know her and her husband / family. Her name was Harriet Rose Banks. She lived at 34 Nunhead Grove in 1948 with her husband James banks. They did have 2 kids in the 1950's named Jennifer and Ray. Any info on my grandmother at the time would be most appreciated. I'm collecting a family history from my mothers side of the family. Contact me at

The council wasn't very fair to some of the long term shop tenants a few years ago, doubling the rent and wanting fully repairing leases (£60k just for repairs!) then having scared them off, they sold the properties (having refused over the years, to sell to the existing tenants or do the necessary repairs !!)

Hi I think I knew your mum and dad I lived at 2 tappesfield rd from 1957 to 1961 with my mum and dad Elsie and Arthur my name is Dawn We lived upstairs and my nan lived down. I remember the bakers soapers and the drapery.

Hi,

I have been searching online for bits and bobs related to my family history and when I came across this, the name's rang a bell in my head. My Nan was best friends with your sister Kathy as she lived on Barset Rd too, along with my grandad and all their children (my mother included). They later moved to Beer & Wine, which is the home I remember my grandparents in and remember Kathy from when she would come round to do my Nan's hair still in the 90s!

My Nan was called Alice Harrison (Hodges) married to Donald and their children were: Jean, Pat, Eileen, Richard, Christine (My mum) and Martin.

Jeff Latouche did some work for me, and I'm afraid I can only describe him as a complete cowboy. He was unreliable, did a poor job, wouldn't give me a receipt (cash only!), and wanted to have an argument about everything. Terrible.

ohhhhh sounds good , i wonder when they will get there site up and running.

hold it in back room of the waverley arms sure they will help you ..

I've lived here for 48 years. We've had 'episodes' of troublesome behaviour over the years the same as any other area but it's generally fairly quiet here.

I grew up in nunhead untill the 70s i lived in tappesfield road, i went to peckham rye school. my sister live in barset rd with her husband. kathy and nobby clark. i remember the lady that lived below my sister mrs swan. acouple of doors away lived a man called charlie his dad had no legs. do you remember the peirce family linda sandra moony cant remember the rest. i knew a girl called dawn lorman who lived in nunhead grove. opposite the man of kent pub.

Did anyone know my family.

They used to have one, but sadly it has expired. The shop in Nunhead is still going strong. So sad that the Penge and Beckenham shops have closed. I remember their marvellous shop in Bromley Market Square, which closed some years ago, and has been replaced with yet another coffee chain outlet. Not a change for the better!

hi, would love to get back in touch with people I used to know,,,,, lived in barset road in 60s and early 70s before moving to peckham,, went to hollydale school, can remember mrs rixon head teacher, There used to be wet fish shop and next door gift shop run by same couple used to play with there daughter , remember petrol garage run by mortons ,, used to hang around with their daughter paula, she had brother raymond, would love to hear from all who remember me

No you haven't chosen the wrong side - its nice and quiet in Borland Rd. There were loads of "local" shops in Cheltenham Rd, including a post office, a green grocers and a butchers, a dairy ... but everyone headed off to sainsburys and they closed. If you want shops, pubs, etc ... perhaps forest hill rd is nearer.

Evelina Rd used to be really great 30 years ago ... there was a laundry, a nicer bakers, 2 greengrocers, an offlicence, a petshop, a cobblers, a recordshop, a tea rooms, an aquarium shop, antiques centre, clock shop, photographers, an optician, gift shop ... etc. To add to the village feel .. there was also an old horsetrough that the council removed and replaced with an ugly recycling bank.

Hi,

Kitto Rd is great. Lovely parks,no chavs or few gangsters. The rail station is exactly 7 minutes away from the station.

Nice public school down the road. The hill view is brilliant,quite leafy surrounds. Two shops not to far away. Great community activities in the newly opened cafe opposite the park.

I am moving from East Dulwich to Nunhead but I understand that all the life is happening on Nunhead Lane or Evelina Road, while I will be in Borland Road...

Apart from the Ivy House, is there anything else around there?

I noticed all the shops on Cheltentham Rd that were closed over the weekend, seem to be shut also during the week. Not a chemist neither?

I really like the flat and being near the park but need some advice also on safety in that particular area. Did I choose the wrong side of Nunhead?

Don't Know which end of Bellwood Road you refer to I've not been there since 1974, but at one end was the Vicar's house and the Church Hall, at the other end Ivydale road school and a derelict house since 2nd world war most of the house were built after the 2nd WW

I asked him to repair my roof. The first problem was to get him to send me a quote - I had to pester him for umpteen times. The next problem was getting him to turn up. He was completely unreliable - on several occasions he said he would be coming and then didn't turn up, no phone call, nothing. When he did come he skimped the work, was hardly there and the price was exorbitant for the amount of work. AVOID

Hi

Just to let you all know that I can look after your cats (and other small animals) over the Easter hols. in Nunhead. Take a look at my website

www.thecatsitter.co.uk for further details. Thanks

There's another great pub closer to you on Dennett's Road called 'The Telegraph at the Earl of Derby'. You can easily walk to Queens Road or Brockley stations, which are getting the East London Line in May, plus Nunhead station which is on the Thameslink and also goes to Victoria. Night buses run down the old kent road, but you'll have to walk from New Cross - there are a few - the N172 springs to mind. You have got Telegraph Hill park nearby with sweeping views of the capital. Nunhead high street has 2 butchers; a great bakers and a first class fishmonger. Cheaper than East Dulwich and minus the pretension.

Dog Kennel Hill , East Dulwich, Adventure Playground has an intimate newly built music studio situated on its grounds. It has musical equipment there. It's fantastic!!!

You can take a train from Nunhead station and it's only 2 stops away.

Contact Patrick (Manager) on: 0207 274 6197.

Good luck and welcome to Nunhead!!!
