T.V Spot: Cemetery Club on Inside Out This Monday

by Sheldon Great excitement indeed – ready your Sky boxes, iPlayers and what have you, as Monday 26th September sees myself and the fabulous Miss Sam Perrin walk through the graveyards of Kent and Sussex, showing presenter Natalie Graham some of the most interesting, touching and memorable people we’ve had the chance to research. It was a massively fun project to do – neither I nor Sam had really ventured ‘down South’ before for history research but as the blog firmly lives f

The Trains Don’t Stop Here Anymore:- A New Dead Space In South London

by Christina There was a time before London’s old abandoned train stations were abandoned and old. Back then, they were current, and in use. One day they stopped being so. And a new age began, in which they became History. Aldwych Tube station, originally called Strand station. We tend to know about the more famous ones. Aldwych station, for example, an abandoned Tube station on the Strand, with it’s old frontage still in tact. These days they sometimes use it for filming mus

Throughout the Sodden Streets

When it’s miserable outside, some of our trustiest friends end up as casualties as they do their best to keep us dry. Extraordinary gales finish off many of the weak or the elderly. Poignantly, they lie abandoned in the streets, many different generations left to decay amongst the slush of street life. I am of course speaking of the ‘bodies’ of umbrellas which have been left broken and contorted by their owners, unable to fulfil their function in conditions that they simply w

Outside London – Trekking to Talacre to See an Abandoned Lighthouse

It was a cold, clear day in November and for once I was wearing sensible shoes. In fact, I was wearing wellies. Sheldon would have been proud of me. My friend Jess, who came with me on this adventure, joked that I looked like a Yummy Mummy from Kent. Just with more tattoos. I countered that there’s nothing wrong with being prepared for all weathers. But in fact – while it was very muddy where we were going, it was a beautiful, beautiful day. The kind of late autumn day that h

In a Quiet Part of India

I have Indian ancestry. My family went out to India in the early eighteenth Century to exploit various new opportunities within the East India Company and on its railways: the latter was considered to be the main family occupation right up until my late paternal Grandfather. My Dad, Aunts and Uncle however thought ‘blow this, lets work in a bank or the Government’. Street Traders in India When it came to dealing with my late Grandmother’s estate a few years ago, we happened t

A Journey to Nunhead

by Sheldon As promised last week, my post this sunny and hot Monday will be a more in-depth look at Nunhead. It was the second Cemetery to be opened by the London Cemetery Company, as an attempt to recreate the success they’d had with Highgate. The opening of the Cemetery utilised a recently passed bill that allowed the company to operate commercially in the London area: as long as the total area held was no more than sixty-one hectares. This therefore allowed them to have
