PECKHAM SOCIETY NEWS INDEX OF LETTERS (without addresses, phone numbers or emails included ) (to Issue 158 2019) Season/ Title/Author/Subject all entered in Alphabetical Order Year Month Issue Page INDEX TO LETTERS IN PECKHAM SOCIETY BULLETINS, NEWSLETTERS, AND PECKHAM SOCIETY NEWS Notes: Complete up to and including number 158, Autumn 2019 PLEASE READ THESE NOTES FIRST THEY WILL HELP YOU SEARCH MORE EFFECTIVELY 1) Only people’s names appear in the first column (and in the case of married women, I have cross referenced their maiden names). I have deleted all email addresses, phone numbers and addresses of all letter writers for reasons of privacy. 2) If Jane Smith (née Jones) writes a letter which include subjects such as the Surrey Canal, Rye Lane, and Waverley School, it will be entered under Smith, Jane (where it will include her contact details, where given), and also under her maiden name, and then under Surrey Canal, Rye Lane and Waverley School, with her name as author in the second column. Should I have inadvertently missed any such cross-references, please let the Editor know who will pass the information on to this Indexer! However, if someone writes a letter saying “I support the idea of Peckham Rye Railway Station being opened out”, I have not included it under Peckham Rye Railway Station because it’s not telling us anything other than the idea has been supported. 3) Where there is more than one letter written about the same subject this Indexer will list the authors in alphabetical order under the given subject. 4) Where an author has written more than one letter about the same subject this Indexer will list them in order of publication, earliest first. 6) If we have a company for example, Fred Upton Hatters, it shall be listed under FRED as FRED is the beginning of the name of the business. But if you are talking about the person, it shall be listed under UPTON, Fred. Sometimes both shall be mentioned, which means it shall be listed under the Business name (ie. Fred) as that may be more popular. Apologies for any discrepancies of cross-indexing rules. Index to Letters in Peckham Society Bulletins, Newsletters and Peckham Society News 2 Season/ Title/Author/Subject all entered in Alphabetical Order Year Month Issue Page 6) Many letters are written as a result of an article or articles previously published. So do read this Index in conjunction with the Index of Articles for full information about subjects or people you are researching. 7) If you are reading this on a monitor and you are searching for something specific, press the Control button and F as a quick search facility, but it’s much more enjoyable and satisfying trying to see if this Indexer has entered everything correctly and thoroughly and in correct order.... and of course you may find other things you were not expecting to find. 8) Someone writes a letter about memories of say “Honor Oak School”, and someone else writes about “Honor Oak Grammar”, and we know it has now gone through several incarnations. Similarly Peckham Park Road School, and Peckham Park Primary. I have, however, entered the names as they are remembered (and in alphabetical order) and not changed a thing. 9) Southwark Council’s various addresses. Should you want to follow something up with them, contact them at the current address, or on line. www.southwark.gov.uk 10) Finally, where I write, after someone’s name in the left column “..writes of many memories”, I have cross indexed every one. ********************************************* 108 Queen’s Road Mrs Murial Daly lived here before and after WW2 2014-15 Winter 139 12 5 Miles Club Irene Warden needs advice on this as she has found 2007 Spring 107 25 it on a medal Abbott, C C Name on back of a medal with 5 Miles Club, and Irene 2007 Spring 107 25 Warden needs answers.

You can protect cemeteries by keeping people out, but also by welcoming them in. There is no consistent set of rules to govern appropriate behaviour in cemeteries, and notions of what is ‘respectful’ vary enormously. Having too many rules risks alienating visitors and creates problems for those who have to police them. Having no rules invites mayhem. 11.30-11.45 Diversifying Audiences in Abney Park Cemetery | Tom Simpson | Abney Park manager For those of the Magnificent Seven that no-longer operate as working cemeteries, increasing the diversity of park users and uses is crucial in preserving and protecting these unique sites. However, encouraging people to engage with spaces that are ‘full of dead people’ can be challenging. This presentation explores how Cemeteries can diversify audiences and the challenges faced when trying to attract new users to a cemetery. 11.45-12.00 Q&A: Challenges to diversity in cemeteries with Ian Dungavell and Tom Simpson.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

    }triendi3 of lr{ei3f 12orwood Jlemefery NEWSLEITER NO 4: DECEMBER 1990 THE MEETING OF LAMBETH COUNCIL, 17th October 1990 At a typically lively and noisy meeting of the Full Council in October, Councillor John Whelan, and Nicholas Reed, FOWNC Chairman, asked questions of two Committee Chairmen. Councillor Stewart Hunter, Chair of Lambeth's Public Works Corrmittee said his officers were doing a splendid job, and 'Went on to take a completely political stance, accusing his first questioner of wishing to turn. the Cemetery back into a private company (something he had never mentioned). Yet in view of Lambeth I S apparent eagerness to demolish so much in the Cemetery, simply in order to provide more burial space, and thus increase the revenues received by the Cemetery, one begins to wonder if things are so very different from when the old Cemetery Companies used to maximise their burial revenues. One would have expected such behaviour from capitalist Victorian businesses 100 years ago, but one hardly expects it nowadays from a left-wing Labour Council! Lambeth declared the Cemetery a Conservation Area in 1978, This makes it also a matter for the Planning Coomittee, since tedmically, any changes made to such an area should be notified to, and approved by, the Planning Committee. In her reply, Councillor Arma Tapsell, Chair of Lambeth's Planning COIlII1i.ttee, pointed out that many Lambeth Councillors may not be aware of the decisions taken many years ago to carry out "lawn conversion" in the Cemetery. And "in view of the criticisms raised by the Friends of the Cemetery," she is asking for a detailed report on all three cemeteries to be prepared by her officers, after consulting all parties.

However, it is also a city well-served by open spaces. There are numerous small parks which provide relief retreat from city life, while areas such as Richmond Park and Riverside, Hyde Park, Hampstead Heath, Epping Forest and Wimbledon Common are real recreational treasures. Although not so obviously popular, many of our cemeteries and churchyards provide a much overlooked such amenity. Many of those established in Victorian times were designed to be used as places of recreation by the public as well as places of burial. Many are still in use and remain beautiful and interesting places for quiet walks. Some, on ceasing active use for burials, have been developed as wildlife sanctuaries and community parks. As is the case with parklands, there are some especially splendid cemeteries in the capital which stand out from the rest. I would personally recommend the City of London, Islington and St.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The decline of British bumble bees has been attributed to the loss of their habitat through the intensification of agricultural practices. In the quest for information of use to bumble bee conservation the potential of our flower-rich cities has been overlooked. The overall aim of this study was to determine the status and foraging requirements of bumble bees in the urban environment provided by the city of London, U.K. My principal findings are as follows. Six common species and three rare species were identified. The greatest diversity of Bombus species was found in the east of London. Garden and wasteland habitats attracted the greatest abundance of workers and diversity of Bombus species.

    EDITORIAL The AUTUMNAL MEETING of our Society will be held at Blackpool on Wednesday, 16th October, at 4.30 p.m., in the Wesleyan Lecture Hall, Adelaide Street. A paper on" Early Nonconformist Churches in Lancashire" is expected from the Rev. J. H. Colligan, Presbyterian minister of Lancaster, and opportunity for discussion will be afforded. " Our Society has sustained a grievous loss by the death of the Rev. Bryan Dale, M.A., of Bradtord, which took place on 30th July. Mr. Dale was a Cornishman, having been born at Cury, near Helstone, on 22nd February, 1832. Inhisyouth he was a member of the Wesleyan Association, now merged in the United Methodist Church, but having adopted Congregational principles he entered the Western College, then seated at Plymouth, at the age of 18. His first pastorate was at Coggeshall, Essex, the church founded by Dr. John Owen ; where he was ordained in 1855, and ministered about seven years. During that time he contributed materially to the success of the local bicentenary commemoration of the ejected ministers, and wrote The A mwls of Coggeshall, which is of permanent value. In 1863 he removed to Sion Chapel, Halifax, where he exercised a fruitful ministry for over 23 years, during which time two new Congregational churches were established in the town. Retiring from pastoral work in 1886 he became secretary of the Yorkshire Congregational Union, in which capacity he served the churches to the end of his life. His life of The Good Lord Wharton takes rank as a standard biography ; and by his untiring efforts the perversion of that nobleman's '' Bible Charity" was in large measure -though not altogether-rectified.
