Manor Farm Dairy - 12 Herne Hill Road SE24
My uncle George Bowen and his wife Rene ran the Manor Farm Dairy out of 12 Herne Hill Road. According to my mother who would visit them during the holidays - milk was delivered in those days in big churns pushed on a barrow.
The housewives would bring out their jugs and milk was ladled into the jug. There... [more]

Greater London memories
We lived in 7 Booth House for 11 years. We were the Scottish family the Geekies who had a very violent father. I remember an old bloke who was a flasher who lived in Birch House. My mum called the police when I told her what he had done.

Tulse Hill in the 70's and 80's
I lived in Tulse Hill from around 1970 to 1990, at first on the Tulse Hill Estate (Booth House) and then Gaywood Close up the hill. My abiding memories centre mainly around my time at Dick Sheppard School - now sadly just a memory - and especially the time my gang had a fight with another school in Herne Hill one... [more]

We lived in Turney Road not far from 'Greyhound' as we called it. My grandparents used to take us there for celebratory meals at birthdays and anniversary times. We used to go upstairs where the table was all laid out with fine silver cutlery and damask cloth and napkins. We were the only ones up there - and there were only... [more]

My brother and I, Kathryn & Philip Brunker went to Dulwich Hamlet school until 1958. We then moved to Basildon, Essex. I went to the 'huts' at first, aged 4, and after visiting there in 1996, found them still to be there! Amazing. We lived at 5 Colledge Gardens, sadly gone and replaced by flats, but the backwall of... [more]

Always known by my pals and myself, just as "the Greyhound" (late 1950s).
In those days, the Public Bar was on the left hand side of the building, which had benches and scrubbed wooden tables with a sprinkling of sawdust on the floor. There was a Snooker Hall at the back. The Saloon Bar was on the right of the building... [more]

Dulwich Hamlet Junior School 1967
I remember going to School in the village when I was 7 - not much has changed here since then - amazing - except that the tardis on the right hand side is no longer there! The School is still in existence and I have many fond memories of those days, and with days from my twenties when I frequented "The... [more]

Extracts From Herne Hill & Greater London books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Herne Hill, inspired by Frith photos.
South East London Photographic Memories
Railton Road runs from Brixton and today, at its south end, it continues to be a one-way street. It is unusual that many of the shops have not changed. The laundrette is there today, and The Fruiterers (centre) has become the Fruit Garden. Two doors along to the right, Kennedy`s remains, and so does its neighbour Walters the butcher.

At the time of this photograph, Norwood Road still has tramline points at the junction with Dulwich Road on the right. The railing and trees on the right are part of Brockwell Park, and the shops on the far side are under the Herne Hill to Tulse Hill railway line.

High Street North is a relatively undistinguished and typical London suburban shopping street: the exuberance of the Town Hall complex is forgotten. The Midland Bank on the corner of Caulfield Road (right) is one of their 1920s Classical-style single-storey buildings that add quality to many High Streets. On the left the taller Victorian brick buildings were demolished in the 1970s and replaced by bland flat roofed ones.
