Celebrating the arrival of May by meeting the latest batch of cygnets at Brockwell Ponds 🦢

We still have many schools off in high-pupil-density #dulwich and #hernehill .
Without this extra layer of #schoolrun traffic at peak time , herne hill junction is clearing quickly, and buses are moving efficiently.
#carfreeschoolrun #schoolbuses #activetravel #journeysharing
Today some - mainly catchment - schools started. All vehicles could still flow effectively through #hernehill .
As more schools start back, particularly non-catchments with higher driving rates, this junction will become gridlocked.
#schoolrun action is #mainroad action.
Little lunchtime walk in Brockwell Park. Heaven 💚

Milkwood Road #HerneHill , c1910 and today. All the buildings in the historic view were demolished after WW2. On the left the Milkwood Tavern. Note the large gas lamp above the entrance, a common feature with Victorian pubs. A school has taken the place of the pub.
Milkwood Road #HerneHill , December 1905. Can be dated by the hoarding showing the popular play The Scarlet Pimpernel at the Crown Theatre Peckham. The fire station (now Sainsbury’s Local) was built the following year.
Former dairy on Rosendale Road #HerneHill next to the Grade II listed 1860s railway bridge. The dairy, photographed here in the 1950s, dates from the late 1890s and currently awaits a redevelopment that will retain the distinctive facade.
All vehicles flowing efficiently through #hernehill junction - usually an incredibly congested bottleneck.
Why?? Independent schools have already broken up.

Milkwood Road #HerneHill in 1989 (today Sainsburys Local). And there used to be a car paint spraying and an “ornimental” (sic) ironwork business in the railway arches opposite. A Short History of Herne Hill – from Car Sales to Gail’s!
More photos of me starring in the excellent HerneHillFilm free film event in #HerneHill on Friday night with Neil Brand 🇺🇦 in the driving seat. An excellent evening, though I do say so myself 🎹 #streetpiano
We’re looking forward to the Herne Hill Forum Lambeth & Southwark assembly members hustings tonight.
We’ll be asking the candidates what they’re going to do about #hernehill junction…. where thousands of cars converge with children & commuters actively travelling.
What an incredible St Jude's C of E FUN RUN 🏃♀️
Brilliant to get the school community together to raise funds and have a great time! Lots of the ‘teachers’ turned up too 🤪

#HerneHill postcard sent on 17 Nov 1905. The writer’s address is Torbay Holmdene Avenue – no number, so the postman had to remember the house names! The addressee is Mrs F. White, Valiant Soldier, Buckfastleigh, then a pub, today a fascinating local museum and heritage centre
The main #HerneHill gate to Brockwell Park c1905-10. Electric trams have arrived – note the overhead line. The two lodge houses predate the creation of Brockwell Park as a public park in 1892 and were demolished c1914.

The #schoolrun in #dulwichwood ward.
5,000 pupils travel here daily from all over London.
The car trips to & from this *destination* contribute to congestion on Southwark roads - #croxted #hernehill
But Southwark Council have cancelled plans for parking restrictions here??
