I notice no one's volunteered Baxter Fields at the end of Charlecote Grove as a favourite.
It's known locally as Dog Poo Park. For obvious reasons.

Thank you Jules.

I'm encouraged about the Mount Ash cat returning home and am really, really hoping Buster's OK somewhere and finds his way back, whether or not with the help of a kind soul who sees my plea.

Can someone tell me how to add a picture, please?

What treats - where on earth did you find the pictures? I don't know about the first picture, other than it looks like one of the houses on Kirkdale, up the hill from and on the same side as the nursery as it is today. I don't know which houses are in pic 2, but Pic 3 shows, from right to left, part...

Our little cat went AWOL on Monday evening and he's sorely missed. His normal stomping ground is the back gardens of Kelvin Grove and the bottom of Panmure Road, which back onto each other. He's a small, six-month old mainly black cat with a distinctive white-tipped tail, white paws, chest and whisk...

If you've not had any joy yet, call Joe on 0773 6401930. He is a maths lecturer, father of three, runs Dulwich Maths.

Hey Mike I moved here from Kingston upon thames . Wow! We're better than posh Kingston upon Thames! That's cool. I moved here from Chiswick (because it was affordable) - does that convince you too? Everything everyone's said about good bits/ less good bits applies: like a lot of London, we have our...

Have a look here as well...

There's a one o'clock club in Crystal Palace Park as well, just by the Sydenham entrance at the end of Sydenham Avenue. And a mother/ preschoolers drop in at the Grove Centre in Jews Walk - I don't know which day I'm afraid but the office staff are very friendly! And a mother/ pre-school group on Tu...

Thank you Admin and Eagle for coming back to me. I seem to have implied I was looking to change broadband providers but I'm not. I'm happy enough with AOL - the speed's fine, it works with my firewalls and anti virus and the cost is comparable with their competitors. Also it'd be too much hassle swi...

How hard is it? We have a pc on broadband and a laptop on a separate dial up, both AOL, which seems like we might be paying twice. I'd like the laptop to work on broadband around the house, but don't want the computers completely linked to the point where anyone on the laptop can completely access t...

how do i take part in the poll?

The wonderful Oolaboola antiques business on the corner of Willow Walk was thriving only a few months ago - and now it's gone. Does anyone know if they've relocated or genuinely gone? Also I'm wondering what are the plans for the building which is being demolished every day? Is it destined to become...

Now spooky stories about that estate I`ve not heard.... mind you in later years it gave me the creeps..... Thers a house mentioned here at the top of Panmure rd,which I presume is the one at a right angle angle at the very top on the left? Thats the house were a friend of mine lived, his father hun...

Oh wow! I can see our house (on both of them) - thank you!

Pity that the tennis courts have gone - it'd save me a journey down to Laurie Park Road...

On the very local history front, there are quite a few titles on my bookshelf. I'm including the ISBNs so you can drop into Kirkdale Books and see what's still in print. Don't bother with WH SMith, they'd struggle to sell you anything that's not in the top 10. Try these - all have references to old ...

I'd highly recommend Wenzel's practice in Gypsy Hill. The staff are real animal lovers, very experienced and I've never felt they provide anything less than the best service. They can offer homeopathic treatments too if you want. There's a website www.wenzelvetgroup.com/gypsy.php for anyone wanting ...

Thank you. I have sent a PM. Will I receive a notification if there's an answer?

I'm new to this forum but learning fast!

Yes Eccosian I probably can. If the man's the person I think you're talking about I knew him and what happened. However I don't think this should be an open thread discussion.

Do you know how the private messages work on this site? I'd be happy to pass on the information you've asked for..

That's an interesting map you've shown there Steve. Where's it from? What's the approx date? I'd like to see more of the bit top left, following on from my Kelvin Grove enquiries.
