    I would say this is the Charlton 4 v Spurs 1, in 1977.

    Zebra, Brixton 1912.
    Apparently belonged to a Music Hall artist.
    Not something I've ever seen, but when I started work in Somerset House back in 1971, I did once see a fellow walking a fox on a lead down the Strand

    After Valley House was built (is that the name of the tower block), but before the Jimmy Seed was built.

    Incidentally was it always called the Jimmy Seed stand?

    Think the tower block is Valiant house, think it was the south stand when it was built, then it was the JS Stand, I’m sure @Henry Irving will correct me if I’m wrong.

    Anyone got that picture of the bristol rovers away end in that last game of the season? I Know someone in that - me!
    Anyone?

    Last game of the season, away in Bath. There was a picture of our end when some had been put into the pen in the middle. It's been on here before, but just can't find it.

    Cheers

    Maybe there was a thing about Music hall artists and the need to show off with animals. Comedian Fred Barnes was noted for walking around London at the height of his career with a marmoset on his shoulders. In later years he got TB and moved to Southend where he worked the local pubs. I don't know if his reduced status meant he couldn't afford the upkeep of the marmoset but in later life he was known for carting a chicken around with him. 

    Sadly I couldn't source a picture of him with either the marmoset or the chicken.

    My mum was given this by my Aunt.
    According to her this is a street party in Barnfield Gardens celebrating the end of ww2.

    Very interesting photo that @paulbaconsarnie. It all looks set up for a good time with the tables and the flags and there are surely fewer things worthy of a celebration than the end of a war, but it's actually a struggle to see anyone smiling.

    Hi Paul I posted this photo on Plumstead people site as I lived on Barnfield estate as a child. I did not think to ask for your okay and I apologise for not getting your permission.
