That's our first online #LocalHistory talk of 2026 by the way. Obviously we have done talks before. In fact we've done quite a lot of them!

Our first online #LocalHistory talk is 'Sexual Reformers in Dulwich 1870-1925' - bet you didn't know there were enough sexual reformers in Dulwich to fill a whole talk! It's on Tuesday 6 January, 8pm-9pm. Proceeds go to Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers. www.bellhouse.co.uk/events/2026/...

☺️

Great article 👇 We have stink pipes in Dulwich Village, on Gallery Rd and there are some in Herne Hill too. Ours are probably from the sewers that culverted tributaries of the River Effra.

This will be fascinating. Joan Alleyn, nee Woodward, is an under-researched figure in early modern theatre. Woodwarde Rd in Dulwich is named for her (not sure why it has an E at the end). #LocalHistory

Was only talking wartime diet with Mrs A yesterday. Both of my parents (b 1931 and 37) ate it. Dad lived to 82, mum is still going at 87. Had also come across Elsie Widdowsson & her work via the Physiological Society, but hadn't heard she grew up in Dulwich.

I was born in KCH in Camberwell & used to be on the Physiol Soc's @physoc.bsky.social History & Archives C'tte some years back. Pleased to see the good work continues.

And indeed it is! With a bit of poking about have tracked down a pic of the same staircase but without the ghostly girl. Funny how pictures can trigger these long-dormant visual memories.
