Fabulous image of Dulwich Village and Dr Webster's fountain! The cart belongs to the Hudson Brothers of Ludgate Hill, and advertises Brittany Butter. Where did you find such a great pic?

We would be delighted to invite @GovTimWalz to see the James Caird @DulwichCollege & the #Shackleton archive material we look after, but imagine he will be busy over the next few months.

Before @GovTimWalz took the stage at #MinnPostFest, we had to ask him what his Roman Empire was. It turns out the governor often thinks about the sinking of the Endurance in Antarctica and the amazing two-year survival of Ernest Shackleton and his crew.

So not a Dulwich location sadly but a great find nonetheless.

I lived in Underhill Road as a boy more than 50 years ago. I used to stand in that exact spot with my dad, watching all the tower cranes, lorries, cement mixers, etc, as the flats were being constructed.
