Wilf Taylor

Wilf Taylor, one of the stalwarts of the Society’s executive committee and long-time membership secretary, died on Monday aged 90. He had lived in Dulwich for nearly 50 years and was not only an active member of the Society but also the Dulwich Players, the tennis club and latterly, the croquet club. Our condolences go to his family.

Herne Hill Flood

Half Moon Lane experienced a major flood late last week when a 3 foot diameter underground water main burst. A large number of the shops were badly affected but Thames Water has confirmed that it is liable for any costs arising from the flood. Work is on-going to renew the pipe and, hopefully, the road will be re-open shortly. The Turney Road web site has more details here and here.
