‘Die-in’ showed we all should make safety our focus
B
USTLING CAMBERWELL Green came to a standstill this week as hundreds of people brought traffic to a halt and laid down in the road.
For anyone used to the thrum of this major junction, the photo we have used on page 16 and the video we are featuring online, will have a real impact. And that’s the point of these cycle ‘die-ins’. London and Southwark have seen far too many cyclists die on their roads and these protests, which have been held before and have seen hundreds take part, are arranged to make sure that we don’t become hardened to an all too regular ocurrence. Monday’s ‘die-in’ was in memory of 32-yearold cyclist Esther Hartsilver, a physiotherapist at King’s College Hospital, who died after a collision with a lorry in Denmark Hill earlier this month. The fault for the number of deaths does not always lie in the same place, and there can be some heightened emotions from both the cycling and driving camps on how the other follows the rules of the road. Cycle safety campaigner Donnachadh McCarthy tells us that as drivers soon cottoned on to the significance of the event, Camberwell Green fell silent as the ‘die-in’ took place. Perhaps this shows that if we all call for safer road use together, with the focus on preventing the needless loss of life rather than who can get from A to B quickest, then government - local and national - will have a clearer steer on what safety measures should be introduced. Surely all anyone wants is harmonious use of the capital’s roads?
At least some locals may gain from MP pay rise
S
OUTHWARK’S NEWEST MPs, Neil Coyle in the north and Helen Hayes in the south, have said that they will not be keeping the rise in wages currently being proposed for MPs if it goes through.
The Labour duo have told the News that if the controversial £7,000 increase to an annual wage of £74,000, proposed by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), goes ahead, they will simply portion it out to local charities. We also asked long-standing Camberwell and Peckham MP Harriet Harman - Mr Coyle and Ms Hayes’ boss - what she would be doing, but have only learnt that she disagrees with the proposal. Over 386,000 people have signed a petition calling on the PM to overrule the proposed increase. At least, if it does go ahead, some local people stand to gain from what most people find an ill-timed bump in pay, when all we hear from those in power is that we live in times of austerity.

Barry Albin-Dyer 1951-2015
Barr y Albin-Dyer, a funeral direc tor who brought home British troops killed in battle and who treated the pe o pl e o f B e m o n d s e y t he s a m e a s the royals whom he escor ted to the borough, has passed away, aged 64
By Amelia Burr amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
Anyone wishing to pay their respects to Barry Albin-Dyer can visit the Albin’s chapel of rest in Culling Road, SE16 2TN, on Saturday, June 13. His body will be lying in repose between 9am and 1pm.
THE CLOCKS stopped in Bermondsey on Saturday when it was announced that Barry AlbinDyer had passed away.
The funeral director, who comforted so many through their darkest hour, bravely battled cancer for well over a year before dying peacefully in his bed surrounded by his family at the weekend. In his thirty years at the head of the FA Albin & Sons table, it is impossible to count the thousands of people Barry brought comfort to - the mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers who came through his doors and were all treated with the same dignity and respect as if they were his own. ‘He really looked after me’ is a phrase uttered by so many who felt his gentle hand on their shoulder as they said goodbye to a loved one. Proudly carrying on the family firm, which has been burying the people of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe for over 200 years, Barry has led funerals where the streets have been lined with thousands of mourners. It was Albins’ pallbearers who carried ten-year-old Damilola Taylor’s small white coffin in 2001. In 2004 the police guarded the Albin’s funeral cortège of Walworthborn Private Lee O’Callaghan, one of the first British troops to be killed in action in Afghanistan, and flowers carpeted the streets in 2009 when an Albin’s hearse drove Bermondsey’s Jade Goody to her final resting place.
In 2010 his dignified work repatriating British troops after they had been killed in battle in Afghanistan was recognised by the Queen, who awarded him an OBE. This was undoubtedly one of Barry’s proudest moments, but he valued just as highly the memorial service he put on every year and the memorial garden it was held in. Thousands of local people were brought together on that one freezing night every year to remember the loved ones they had lost, in good company. Barry was a man who lived, loved and worked hard in his community, as part
of his community. From an elaborate send-off for an Indian Bishop to a horse-drawn carriage making its way down the Blue, he gave every death his respect and the living his undivided attention. Then there are those he has helped through his charitable work, generous donations and the Albin Dyer Bermondsey and Rotherhithe Foundation, which has paid for everything from a minibus for the disabled to local student scholarships. A humble man, Barry never shouted about the good deeds he did, and in his quiet way he helped countless more with
a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on and a word of sound advice. Without his kind heart and sharp mind this newspaper would not be here today. After the death of the paper’s founder Dave Clarke in 1998, Barry stepped in and guided its fledgling reporters to the point where they could take it on themselves. There are many lessons to be learnt from the way Mr Barry Albin-Dyer chose to live his life and it is for that reason and all those listed above that we have decided to dedicate the next six pages to a great man who will be sadly missed by so many.
A special mass for Barry will be held at St George’s Cathedral, Westminster Bridge Road, SE1 7HY on Wednesday, June 17. The service will begin at 6pm. Barry’s funeral will take place on Saturday, June 20. It will be held at Most Holy Trinity Church, Dockhead, SE1 2BS, and will begin at 11.30am. Seating in the church is not guaranteed, although the service will be shown on screens outside. A funeral cortege will leave Albin’s in Culling Road at 9.30am and will pass through Bermondsey on a route which will be confirmed and advertised in next week’s News. Following the service, Barry will be laid to rest at a private ceremony in the Albin’s memorial garden.

Barry Albin-Dyer 1951-2015
- the man who never said no B
ARRY GEORGE AlbinDyer said he was ‘conceived a funeral director’ when he was born into the family profession. His father, George Dyer, was working as a funeral director with Frederick Albin when Barry was raised above their shop in Old Jamaica Road – continuing a lineage of burying the people of Bermondsey for over 200 years, writes
Amelia Burr... Although Barry was never bothered by death being a part of daily life in his home, his school friends rarely came over to play. "I grew up there with coffins in the corner," Barry told the News last year, adding that some children would knock on the door and shout, 'Got any empty boxes?' before running away. It was a family affair, with his mother Mary, dad, brother, uncle and granddad all pitching in ‘the Albin way’ to get the job done right. From the age of seven, Barry’s first tasks every day were to clean out the fire grate and polish the brass plaque on the front door bearing the firm’s name. "There was a fantastic family atmosphere. My dad was very clever - he never closed any doors so I could go anywhere - so I wasn't afraid of it," Barry said of those early days. Under the guidance of his father and great-uncles, Barry learnt every aspect of the trade and by eleven he was regularly acting as a bearer at funerals. At seventeen, Barry’s world fell apart when his dear mother died of cancer. He since said that this was the worst thing
At seventeen, Barry’s world fell apart when his dear mother died of cancer. He since said that this was the worst thing she ever did to him and the best gift she could have given him.

In suffering the dreadful pain of losing someone so special to him, Barry would forever understand the grief of those he served. The memory of Father McManus and the Sisters of Mercy at Dockhead caring for his dying mother was instrumental in Barry’s later decision to convert to Catholicism. Sons Jon and Simon recalled that Sister Finbar was the only one to ever make their father quake in his boots. “She used to tell him off,” said Simon. “She was

only tiny but he was really frightened – it’s the only time I’ve seen fear in his eyes.” At 22 Barry married Janet Burnett and they raised two sons, Jon and Simon, above Albin’s, then in Culling Road. History repeated itself as the boys started polishing the same brass plaque at sevenyears-old and had free rein over the funeral home below. When Barry first took over the family firm from his father and Fred Albin in 1986, he described it as receiving the baton - taking his turn to be the guardian

Bringing our fallen heroes home
PC JARRA Brown, MBE, met Barry in 2007 , escorting Albin fleets of fallen soldiers from RAF Lyneham, through Wootton Bassett to the M4.
He described watching Barry conduct a service bringing eight of our heroes home. “I saw Barry get out of the front hearse. With his immaculate presence he stood in top hat and tails and a cane in his hand, like an image from a generation that I had thought had long since gone. “He wouldn’t be rushed, everything was precise and with so much grace he turned to face the eight heroes he was about to page to the war memorial, where ten thousand waited. “One final salute by doffing his top hat and he slowly

of the Albin name. When the historic firm was awarded the Southwark Blue Plaque last year, Barry was “over the moon,” according to Jon. While feeling the weighty responsibility of protecting the strong local reputation his forefathers had built up over generations, he also saw the need to move the business forward. Over his thirty years in the driving seat, Barry led the business into unchartered territory – from being the go-to place for Iranian funerals to offering cryonics (you can now be frozen and stored in a capsule

The stop at the memorial is solemn and brief, yet as he leads the fallen away from their families, he bows his head and sends a message, that he really did care.”
in Michigan in the hope of being brought back to life in the future) - he remained open to the changing world around him, while sticking fast to the traditions he held dear. The Albin motto ‘the answer is yes, now ask me the question’ was how Barry brought the past and the future together. One of the biggest changes Barry oversaw was taking Albin’s international. In 2010 he bought leading repatriation firm, Kenyon’s, at some considerable financial risk, and within four years turned it into a profitable enterprise. From the Shah of Iran’s daughter to the film star Donald Pleasence, Barry, with Jon and Simon, have been responsible for reuniting some high profile figures with their loved ones. But for Barry, ‘the Albin way’ is that everyone is equal - royalty or a bin man, you got the same service. As a patriotic man, though, he could not help but feel a special pride at being awarded the contract from the Ministry of Defence to bring British troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq when they had been killed in action. The precision and attention to detail which Barry drummed into his team on
a daily basis (even checking the exhaust pipes on the cars were clean before they were allowed to leave the yard) made Albin’s a perfect fit for military funerals. When Walworth-born Lee O’Callaghan was one of the first British troops to be killed in Iraq, Barry gave him the send-off he deserved in the full glare of the media spotlight. Lee’s mum Shirley and brother Danny went on to join the Albin ‘family’, with Shirley now running their Walworth branch. The quiet dignity and excellence with which Barry carried out his duties bringing our boys and girls home led to a knock on the door from an RAF group captain in 2010. He asked Barry to gather his troops in the meeting room at Albin’s HQ before he told them that as of that day, their fair leader would be known as ‘Barry Albin-Dyer, Officer of the Order of the British Empire’. Son Simon embraced his stunned father and said: “Dad there can’t be a better man in the world who deserves this….you deserve it for what you have done for the people of Bermondsey,” while Jon, who was on a funeral at the continues overleaf
Goodbye Jade
WHEN BERMONDSEY-BORN reality TV star Jade Goody died from cancer in 2009 aged just 27, her mother Jacqui Budden turned to FA Albin’s to arrange her final goodbye.
It turned out to be one of the most high-profile funeral in the firm’s history and the most broadcast funeral ever, with even more coverage than Princess Diana, according to Jon Dyer. Thousands lined the route from Southwark to her final resting place in Essex, with Barry stopping the
procession to release a dove in The Blue. Jacqui paid tribute to Barry after she received the sad news of his passing, saying: “He was a wonderful man who did so much for us as a family at such an extremely difficult time. I can't thank him enough for the way he handled it all. “Nothing was too much for him. He was a true professional and a lovely man, who will be sorely missed by so many people whose lives he touched. Our thoughts are with his family.”

Two years later Barry was asked to be the Deputy Lord-Lieutenant of London – an honorary role which entails greeting visiting members of the Royal family, as well as being given the Freedom of Southwark Borough in 2011.

Barry fought through acres of red tape to get a place where local people could be laid to rest. Even more importantly, thanks to Barry, parents of babies who died before they reached full term now have a place where they can visit their lost children. Astonishingly, it used to be common practice that hospitals would bury numerous nameless babies in unmarked graves. When a woman came to Barry one day to ask for his help in tracking down where her baby might be buried, he could not help her, and that would not do. He set about creating a space where parents going through such a terrible loss at local hospitals could lay their precious babies to rest free of charge. Jon told the News that just hours after Barry died, a “young kid in a hoodie” came to Albin’s with flowers. When his estranged girlfriend had a miscarriage years ago, they had come to Barry for help. “He told me that Dad had sat them down and given them a place in the garden and he’d never forgotten him,” said Jon. “It’s things like that that just really get you.” The memorial service held in the garden every December attracts thousands of local people to come together for one night and remember their lost loved ones.

Giving something back
BARRY BELIEVED in putting something back into the community where he lived, loved and worked day and night.
To be sure he could help a local person who came to him in need, he set up the Albin-Dyer Foundation. It was purely funded by a percentage of Barry’s income every year and decisions about where the money went were made by a committee of one. The foundation has paid for a young girl to study fashion at college, sick people to travel to Lourdes and bought minibuses for churches and charities in the area, to name just a few examples. Barry was proud to say the foundation never had a penny left in the pot because he spent it all doing what he felt was right. Barry also regularly supported several local charities including the Evelina Children’s Hospital and the Bede House Trust. He was instrumental in founding Rotherhithe-based Homes4Heroes, for which he became a patron. He also sponsored the Rotherhithe Swimming Club and ploughed both time and money into keeping Fisher FC afloat. In 2007 and again in 2009 Barry, John Donovan and the News put on a Party in the Park for hundreds of Bermondsey pensioners - just to celebrate a generation he felt made the area what it was. In the way he ran his business he always kept the welfare of his clients in mind. He offered a free will-making service and allowed people who were hard up to come in and pay it off when they could. ‘Giving something back’ was far more than a box to tick for Barry – it was a way of life.

three thousand people attended and had to spill out into Southwark Park. For Barry, this was nothing to do with business, it was all about giving something back. “A company doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It is part of its local community,” he once wrote. “And I believe it has a responsibility to contribute in some way to making that community a better place to live in.” Despite being a savvy businessman, who knew how to take a chance without “risking the crown jewels” (as he often told Jon and Simon), Barry had a soft spot for the people of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe. “He saw the good in people and he always tried to help,” said Simon. “And he was like that as a dad, if he knew there was something you needed,” added Jon.
In addition to Barry’s own Albin-Dyer Foundation and the charities he publicly supported, Jon and Simon have been inundated in recent days with tales of how their generous father helped countless people in smaller but no less significant ways - like when he taught an Albin’s chauffeur to read before he started work every day. Jon recalled when Barry took him out of school one day to help on a funeral. On their way through Nunhead, Barry saw a homeless man lying in the road who looked like he had been hit by a car. While passers-by ignored him, Barry stopped the fleet of Albin cars to call an ambulance, wrapped up the man’s bloodied face and stayed with him until help arrived. “Dad always said ‘It’s nice to be important but it’s much more important to
be nice’,” Jon recalled. In his final hours, Barry was constantly surrounded by his family and friends. Jon, Simon and Barry’s partner of eighteen years, Jackie, made sure he was never left alone. In those final moments, Jackie whispered that she loved him and the grandfather-of-nine squeezed her hand before he passed away. “I had the most amazing life with him. He was the kindest most loving man you could ever meet,” said Jackie. “We were very happy together and I know he loved me.” Even when he was very ill, Jon and Simon were both impressed by their father’s constant thought for others and courtesy to the nurses looking after him. “He was a true gentleman,” said Simon, echoing the sentiments of the many messages of support they have received. “He always backed people, even if he knew it wouldn’t be the best thing for him,” added Jon. In one of Barry’s books, Square Pegs in Round Holes, he made a revelation even more startling than the fact he had flown a MIG fighter jet or that the Dalai Lama sent him a letter days before he died. He wrote: “This might surprise you, but I’ve never thought of myself as a nice person. When I’ve sat in churches and listened to eulogies and heard someone say that so and so was a nice man, I’ve thought that I’d love to have people say that about me,” he added, concerned that his determination in business had sometimes been mis-interpreted as ruthlessness. Let us put it down in black and white. Barry, you were a nice man. You were more than a nice man - you were a true gentleman and the best of Bermondsey. Flowers should be sent to the main office on the morning of the funeral. Donations welcomed for the Albin-Dyer Foundation at the office and online.

ARRY HELPED and supported so many people – and we were lucky to be two of those. Simply put, without him, you would not be reading this newspaper, write Chris Mullany & Kevin Quinn...
When the founder of Southwark News, Dave Clark, died suddenly in 1998, we thought the writing was on the wall. Dave had set up the business in 1987 and was the News personified - with his wealth of experience and his strong personality. So when he died suddenly, it felt like the end. But what we didn’t know, was that, whilst he had always been a terrific journalist, increasingly Dave had turned to his friend Barry Albin for help in running the business. And as finances got tighter and tighter, so Barry had, somewhat reluctantly, agreed to buy more and more of the company, as Dave looked for cash injections to keep it open. So in 1998, Barry suddenly found himself as the owner of the local newspaper, whilst simultaneously setting up a fund for Dave’s son to help him with his future – which he did with all the attention to detail and care that was characteristic of the man. For the three or four of us who were working at the News back then, all in our early twenties and with scant journalistic experience, let alone experience in how to edit a paper - we simply had no idea what it took to run a business. Barry was the man who kept the lights on at the paper – he paid the bills, restructured all the debts and taxes, threw his own people and resources into keeping the paper alive. We had a printer we’d found in a skip - until Barry one day splashed out on a new one! It took pride of place in the office. And he never, ever interfered with the editorial line, even when people he had known all his life complained about a story, or a front page. And he did it all, purely because he loved Bermondsey and Rotherhithe, and felt it would be a loss to the area, and indeed to the whole of Southwark, if the paper should close. He also rejected potentially lucrative offers from rival newspaper businesses to buy the Southwark News, instead entrusting it to the care of a bunch of twenty-somethings, whom he felt shared his passion for the area and for the paper. His confidence in us gave us all huge belief, and also a sense of responsibility. And through the years, you could see how he instilled that in people who worked for him – if Barry trusted your judgement, you just had to be up to it. By 2002, the paper was on a more stable footing, both financially and editorially – we had all settled into our roles at the paper while he held our hands. And then the call came from Barry for the two of us to pop in for a chat, as we regularly did. And when we got there, Barry simply told us that he wanted us to buy the paper off him. He said something along the lines of – ‘I’m a funeral director, and I love that and I’m good at it. I’m not a newspaper man, but

He was a silent benefactor to so many
Russell Dryden, Bermondsey businessman HOW DOES one sum up Barry’s immeasurable contribution to the Bermondsey community, his compassion, impeccable etiquette, a shoulder to cry on in our darkest of hours to help soothe the pain of losing our loved ones and a trusty guide on their final journey?
A silent benefactor to so many, whose demeanour and humble countenance is something we should all aspire to and I am sure the world would be a better place. Thank you Barry, deepest and sincere condolences to the Albin family.
He picked us up when our hearts were broken Kevin Quinn (left) and Chris Mullany shake hands with Barry, as he handed over the mantle of the News back in 2002
‘It’s tempting to say that we won’t see the likes of him again, that he was a one off. And in many ways that is true. Except of course that you can see all Barry’s qualities in his sons, Simon and Jon’
you two are.’ Even if we had harboured thoughts of moving on elsewhere, there was simply no way that we would not take up the mantle at his request. So Barry helped us to do that – allowing us to pay him in monthly instalments for the business, until we finally paid him off after three years. And in a sign of what a generous, fantastic man he was – when we launched our company back in 2002, he presented us with a cheque for £1,000 to go towards the set up of the business. We could never cash it – it meant too much to us – and sits proudly, untouched, in our offices. (The only cheque we’ve ever not cashed, as we used to joke with him.) In the thirteen years that have followed, Barry has been a true mentor to the two of us – always available for advice or just to bounce ideas off over dinner or a cup of tea. Never asking for anything for himself – we had to pursue him to get
even a line about his OBE! – but keen to have stories in the paper about his team, about their achievements, about local people. He only ever mentioned his wide range of charity work when he wanted to pitch a story about one of the charities to us. And you learnt more about all the kind, selfless things he did from others never from him. He was ever-present supporting us if there was a crisis with our shared bank manager back in the difficult early days of which there were a fair few. And with his sure hand and his calm sense of purpose, his strength under fire and the leadership he gave, we learnt about the qualities needed to succeed in business, and how to achieve that without compromising your beliefs - something we will always aspire to. He was and will remain an inspiration to us both. Twice we held pensioners’ parties with Barry, his great friend Johnny Donovan
and all of their families and teams. We felt privileged as a business to be given the opportunity to work alongside these fantastic Bermondsey institutions, and as we all agreed when we planned them – to give something back to local people. You could see firsthand why Barry had been so successful – his passion, his sense of place in the community, his humility and his compassion and his attention to the minutest of details. We saw it then, and we saw it each time we came to join the team breakfasts at Albin’s – and of course we saw it in how he oversaw the paper back in the early days. Everyone who worked with him or for him so obviously respected him, both as a businessman and as a person. And the great and good, including politicians, sought his approval and support – knowing that he spoke for so many in the area, always with Bermondsey’s best interests at heart. It’s tempting to say that we won’t see the likes of him again, that he was a one off. And in many ways that is true. Except of course that you can see all Barry’s qualities in his sons, Simon and Jon. Barry, ever the total professional, would never have died before he was sure that F.A Albin & Sons was in safe hands! Over the past year in particular, we have observed his total faith and immense pride in his two sons, who learnt from the very best. Bermondsey has been truly blessed to have had a remarkable man like Barry in its midst. And we, like many people, will miss him so very much.
Phil Burkett, of Bermondsey Beat He was a true friend of mine. He lived and breathed Bermondsey and was always there to help us if we had an idea to promote the area or Southwark Park.
He was generous and Johnny Donovan and Barry both put in thousands of pounds to create the Bermondsey pensioners’ ‘Party in the Park’ events, where over 200 pensioners from around Bermondsey were treated to a pie’n’mash, drink and live entertainment in a large marquee in Southwark Park. In his line of work he picked us up when our hearts were broken, put a strong arm around our shoulder and told us ‘it’s going fine and we’ll get through this together’ and made our last goodbyes a little easier to bear. Personally, I will miss him a lot and I don’t think that we will ever see another man like Barry, his presence and his love for Bermondsey, again. Thanks Barry for the laughs, smiles and now the tears. God bless, mate.

Barry Albin-Dyer 1951-2015
I just want to thank you all for the wonderful messages and love you have sent
Jan Dyer, Barry’s former wife I WAS married to Barry for 25 years and we were blessed with two wonderful sons, Simon and Jonathan, who in turn have given us nine beautiful grandchildren.
Although we parted eighteen years ago we have remained good friends, with the happiness of our boys being our main priority, and from the day he was diagnosed with this cruel disease he has kept me updated personally. When I first met him when we were teenagers he was passionate about Albin’s and his dream was to take over from Fred Albin when he decided to step down. This he did and Fred would not have allowed that if he didn't think Barry was capable of taking on that mantle. The rest is history and Barry has far surpassed his dreams with the
building of the Memorial Garden for the people of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe, who have always been so dear to him. I just want to thank you all for the wonderful messages and love you have sent for Barry and our boys and to ask you to keep supporting Simon and Jon, who are both heartbroken and face a difficult time coping with their grief and keeping Albin’s up to the very high standards their dad set. They have fantastic wives, Michelle and Jane, and extended family and friends around them, for which I'm truly grateful. I would also like to thank the wonderful staff at Albin’s for their support of our boys and their families through this difficult time. They have all stepped up to keep everything running normally - thus allowing his family to be with Barry through his final days. Parents Jan and Barry, with their boys Jon and Simon
He was like the Godfather to us
He had time for everyone
Steve – It’s going to be tough but he would say ‘the show must go on. I know you’re hurting but we’ve got other people’s funerals to do and we’ve got to look after people’. It [Albin’s] will carry on the same because we’ve had the best teacher anyone could have had. He’s the Godfather to us. I loved the man.
ONE OF the many things that impressed me about Barry was that, although he was successful and an important figure, he never made a big thing of that.
Albin’s staff members – Greg Mancini and Steve Gamble
Greg – His door was always open. If you had to speak to him about anything, you’d walk out feeling better and he’d come up with a way of helping you. He’ll be here in everything we continue to do.
Greg Watts, who helped write Barry’s books with him
He had time for everyone and was genuinely interested in the lives of others. Sometimes when I interviewed him in his office at the funeral home, a local character would tap at the window. Barry would open it and often give him a little job to do in the yard and then slip him a few quid afterwards. Barry always said I taught him to write. He taught me much more.
You couldn’t wish to meet any better John Donovan, friend and Bermondsey businessman HE WAS a lovely man – you couldn’t wish to meet anyone better.
He represented the best of Bermondsey
Simon Hughes – former MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark IF ANYBODY represented the best of Bermondsey, that person was Barry Albin Dyer.
He loved and cared for tens of thousands of people and families in Bermondsey and further afield and they and we all loved him back. His whole family have been just wonderful, and in his final days have watched over him like angels in the difficult days and hours before his death. Simon, Jon, Jackie and all Barry’s family know they have the love, prayers and support of thousands of people every day. This will continue always, because nothing can undo what Barry has done and given and meant to us all. Barry has been a caring, generous, thoughtful and honest friend for many years. I have been privileged to share many happy occasions with Barry and his family, and saw at first hand how much he adored his family and firm and cared for them every day.
Barry truly was a good man
Chelsea Barton, a bereaved mum
BARRY WAS a true inspiration to Bermondsey itself. He comforted thousands of people and cared for them for years.
If it wasn't for this man I wouldn't have had a good send-off for my little girl in February this year. He always made sure he did everything he could for his community. Now it's time we all come together to show the world how much of a nice man he really was. Barry you will always be in my thoughts and prayers along with your family, may you rest in peace you’re now an angel along with all those other angels you did good for. I still can't believe this sad loss. I was in tears when I saw he had passed - he was truly a good man, true legend.
Among all the achievements in Barry’s richly full life and career, the responsibility for all the funerals of our service men and women who died around the world was perhaps the greatest badge of honour for F.A. Albin & Sons. Barry was rightly honoured by the Queen and made one of her Deputy Lieutenants for London, and regularly visited by the royal family and VIPs from home and abroad. But he always saw events like the annual Albin’s memorial service for local families as equally important. Barry made sure his sons and everybody at Albins paid equal attention to the needs of everyone who asked for their help, whatever their circumstances. He was enormously generous to local people in need over the years. Simon and Jon and all the family has shown over the years that they have had devotion without limit to Barry. I know for certain that all that Barry created and developed will be in the safest possible hands.
He always went the extra mile
Rev Peter Maurice, Holy Trinity Church, Rotherhithe I WAS so sad to hear of Barry's death. As Vicar of Holy Trinity Rotherhithe from 1985 I had many dealings with Barry.
He always went the extra mile to support and care for grieving families. Then three years ago as Bishop of Taunton I brought some colleague bishops to meet him to 'see how funerals should be done’. He was, as ever, generous in his hospitality and insightful in his comments. The folk of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe will miss him greatly
He was well respected within the community. People absolutely loved him because he looked after everyone. You can be poor or rich and you’d get the same funeral from Barry. Everyone had to be treated the same. He was the best undertaker in the world. He was a true friend and he will be greatly missed.
No one had the aura of Barry
Jimmy Jukes, Pearly King and founder of Homes4Heroes I’VE GOT very fond memories of Barry.
I’ve met royalty from all over but no one had the aura of Barry. When he walked in the room it lit up. He wasn’t a rock star or an actor but there was a special aura about the man. We were proud and privileged to have him on board. He touched everybody. The angels must be really proud to be escorting him to the big man.
Barry, you did the fallen proud
Jarra Brown MBE THE MAN was an icon in his field, a legend who is now resting in peace and in comfort knowing you will all mourn him, but the memories you all share will change from sadness to bring a smile to each face.
I can see Barry looking down on you all with pride and satisfaction his legacy will always be felt. Barry you did the fallen proud and you will be missed, of that there is no doubt at all, so close your eyes and go to sleep and rest in peace. You may have gone, but you and your old fashioned values will never be forgotten, and your presence will always be with us, when we hear your name.
Hit-and-run victim offers £2k reward to find cyclist Southwark News, Thursday June 11, 2015

A BERMONDSEY woman is offering a reward of “up to £2,000” for anyone who can supply information leading to the arrest and conviction of the cyclist who struck her in a brutal hit-and-run two months ago.
Andrea McVeigh will also appear in next Monday’s episode of Crimewatch in an attempt to track down the man who left her with “physical and mental scars.” As reported by the News, on April 14, a cyclist crashed into Andrea while she was walking with her husband in Tower Bridge Road. The cyclist sped away from the scene, pausing only to turn around and smile at Andrea’s husband, who was in pursuit. Despite police releasing a CCTV image, he has still not been tracked down. Weeks later, the social media manager still has a swollen ankle and cannot close her right hand. She also may have permanent facial scars, with a deep cut to her forehead still not healed. Andrea’s story was chosen to be featured in Crimewatch due to the continuing impact the brutal collision has had on her life. She told the News: “The more time that has passed since the accident, the more upset I've become. I'm left with a terrible legacy of the accident and I think it's terrible that the cyclist just never came forward to apologise or see how I was. I'm left with the physical and mental scars and he just cycled off without a care in the world.” The incident had also had a financial impact, with Andrea considering expensive cosmetic surgery to reduce scarring and therapy to help with her anxiety following the incident. Despite this, she is still putting up the substantial reward and said that if it leads to an arrest and conviction it

will be value for money. She said: “If it leads to him being arrested and he apologises to me then it will give me peace of mind and it will be worth every penny. I can then move on with my life knowing justice has been done and I'll stop feeling like a victim.” Andrea will feature in Crimewatch Roadshow this Monday at 9.15am on BBC 1. Anyone who has any information should contact Southwark police on 0207 232 6220 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 quoting CRIS 3010559/15.

Chris Foster was stabbed to death in 2013

BBC DOC MAPS HOW MURDER WAS SOLVED
Southwark News, Thursday June 11, 2015
A BBC police documentary showing the painstaking behind-the-scenes detective work that brought Chris Foster’s killer to justice will air next Monday.
The 34-year-old dad was stabbed to death in Borough High Street in a tragic case of mistaken identity, during a bungled revenge attack in 2013. The hour-long episode of The Met: Policing London will show how, by trawling through 1000 hours of CCTV footage, the police managed to identify and track the gang of men who surrounded Chris outside St Christopher’s Inn that night (see pictured below right). His mother Jean Foster watched the harrowing footage of the moments immediately after her son was stabbed so that she could give permission for it to be aired in the show. She hoped that the graphic video would act as an anti-knife warning for the borough’s youth. She said: “You could see poor Chris was in agony. A lot of people are under the impression that it was a quick death and he didn’t suffer, but he did. You can see it in his

eyes, they’re as big as saucers and he can’t breathe.” Unfortunately the CCTV footage has since been corrupted and cannot be used in the show. However, she still hopes that the episode will act as a wake-up call for young people in the borough who carry knives, and launched her own ‘Cut It Out’ campaign to drive home the message. She said: “My main aim is to try to make people know that the knife is not the answer. All that bravado about carrying knives doesn’t make you any more of a man. Think of the consequences after you’ve used it.” Chris grew up in Bermondsey, before moving to Walworth just before he was killed and he left behind
his treasured daughter Christina, now aged five. Met Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said of the show: “I hope that over the coming months, we can reveal the true scale and complexity of the challenges faced by officers and staff across the service as they meet the demands of modern policing. I hope this documentary helps the people of London learn more about policing and be proud of us too.” Met: Policing London, is being aired on Monday June 15 at 9pm on BBC1

joey@southwarknews.co.uk
A DOG walker was left needing stitches after she and the pet she was with were savaged by what was thought to be a pitbull in Peckham last week.
Tiberius, a playful two-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, was set upon by the violent mutt while being walked by his owner’s neighbour Dee Evans, in Brimmington Park on Friday afternoon. Dee said: “It came out of nowhere - the dog was just going for him! I dived between the two and tried to separate them. The dog bit Tiberius and got me by the hand. “I was rolling about with one hand in the dog’s mouth and the other up its bum, which I’d heard makes dogs release their grip. A man came to help and eventually it gave up. I dived on Tiberius to protect him and then picked him up and ran away. It was horrific, and I’m just glad he’s alive.” Dee’s hand was cut and she needed stitches after the attack. The dog was taken to a vet and the police were called. Luckily the injuries suffered by the poor pooch were not serious, and he is now recovering at home. His owner Christobelle Batchelor said that even days later he was still
“shaken up and nervous.” The fashion stylist said: “It’s just irresponsible to have such a violent dog and not be able to control it. The owner was nowhere to be seen. It’s ridiculous. The dog could’ve killed Tiberius, or even worse could have attacked a child.”
The number of offences involving dangerous dogs rose by 50 per cent last year, with a total of 1,400 incidents in the capital last year. Police have advised anyone with information about the incident to call the non-emergency number 101.

The vile message, which read ‘NO N*****S’, shocked residents and business owners when it appeared in two-foot high letters on the front of Dee Dee’s Jazz and Funk bar on May 25. As reported by the News last week, a teacher living nearby was subject to a “trial by social media” and blamed for the crime in numerous online comments, despite being away from London at the time.

EXCLUSIVE
By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
SOUTHWARK’S NEWEST MPs have come out in strong opposition to proposals to increase their salaries to £74,000 a year, saying they would donate the increase to local charities.
Neil Coyle and Helen Hayes both told the News that they would give away the proposed extra £7,000, should the controversial increase, proposed by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), go ahead. Mr Coyle, MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark, described the raise as “unacceptable.” He said: “MPs should not be voting on their own salary. If the well-aboveinflation rise goes ahead this year I will be donating it to the local foodbank – keeping an election promise.” While he hoped the raise would be blocked, he pledged to help “feed people more genuinely in need” if it did get approved. Ms Hayes, MP for Dulwich and West Norwood, reflected these views and said

Tesco to give away leftovers to charity
ROTHERHITHE: The Tesco Extra in Surrey Quays has been chosen as one of ten stores across the country to take part in a groundbreaking new scheme redistributing unused food to people in need.
Using an app developed by food charity FareShare, store managers will alert local charities to the amount of surplus food they have at the end of the day. Charities will then be able to confirm how much food they would like, collect it from the store for free and then use it to feed those in need. Tesco threw away over 55,000 tonnes of food last year, of which 30,000 could have been eaten.

that any increase in salary “would not be right.” She said: “I share the view of many others in the Parliamentary Labour Party that, at a time when public sector workers and many others have not had a real terms pay increase for several years, it would not be right to accept the proposed uplift. “I will donate the difference to a small range of local charities in Dulwich and West Norwood that work on a range of important issues.”
Helen Hayes MP
Long-standing MP for Camberwell and Peckham and interim leader of the Labour Party, Harriet Harman, also disagreed with the proposed increase - although she failed to respond to the News’ question about whether she would choose to donate the difference in a potential salary increase. She said: “IPSA is currently reviewing its decision on MPs’ pay but we have made our view clear: at a time when people’s wages are stagnant now is not

ROADWORKS TURN WALWORTH ROAD INTO A ‘CAR PARK’

WALWORTH
By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
FRUSTRATED COMMUTERS in Walworth faced rush-hour hell this week, with roadworks in Elephant and Castle causing tailbacks and transforming the area into “a car park.”
Bus drivers advised their passengers to get off and walk, with reports of some motorists spending an hour barely moving in Walworth Road. The congestion was due to construction work on the Cycle Superhighway taking place in St George’s Road. Beverley Hunt told the News: “I walked from Walworth Road to the river with a heavy bag and was
quicker than the bus. Most of the buses emptied out apart from those with baggage, babies or difficulty walking.” People also took to social media to express their irritation at the standstill, which has occurred during both morning and evening rush-hour every day this week, and impacted far down the Old Kent Road and Peckham Park Road. Fatema Ahmed said on Twitter: “Don't even think of getting a bus down the Walworth Road to Elephant. I've walked past 20 already and there are more in front.” Another user, Peter Walker, Tweeted: “Walworth Road a complete standstill this morning. A car park.
Only things moving were bikes. Seems like a vision of the future.” Transport for London has not been able to confirm how long the traffic turmoil will continue, with Leon Daniels, the organisation’s Managing Director of Surface Transport, merely advising road users to ‘avoid hotspots’. He said: “Our £4bn Road Modernisation Plan is creating a greener, safer and more attractive London, including a radical improvement in conditions for cyclists. However, just like with the recent upgrades on the Underground, Londoners will find that there are more modernisation projects underway that affect their journeys.”

HUNDREDS OF cyclists brought Camberwell Green to a standstill on Monday evening when they staged a ‘die-in’ in memory of Esther Hartsilver, the 32-year-old killed when she was struck by a lorry in Denmark Hill earlier this month.
The “emotionally powerful” protest, which saw campaigners lie down in the junction for around three minutes, aimed to raise awareness for the challenges facing cyclists on London’s roads. Donnachadh McCarthy, of campaign group Stop Killing Cyclists, said: “It was emotionally powerful and incredibly therapeutic for those involved. A few cars beeped at the start, but once they realised what we were doing they were totally silent and respectful. “To hear Camberwell Green go completely silent – not an easy thing to do - was amazing. I was shaking. It will send a powerful message to [Council Leader] Peter John and Southwark Council.” A white ‘ghost bike’ was erected in Ms Hartsilver’s memory, and speeches were made by cycling campaigners, friends and family, including her sister Sally.

Hundreds of people brought traffic to a standstill in the normally busy Camberwell Green as part of the’ die-in’; the ’ghost bike’; and Esther Hartsilver
Speaking to the crowd, she said: “Esther was a free spirit, she was in the prime of her life. She was a beautiful girl and she’s touched all of our hearts. It’s an absolute tragedy for our family and I would not like anyone else to go through this. “I was horrified when I went to the junction where she was killed at how busy and how lethal that part of London is. Too much traffic at rush

that heavy goods vehicles should be banned from London’s streets during rush-hour. A separate memorial organised by her running club, Project Awesome, was held for Ms Hartsilver last week. Around 150 people took part in a special run which finished at The Scoop in More London, where songs were played and her name was spelled out in candles.

Revellers filled Liverpool Grove for the Living Walworth family festival, which was officially opened by the new Mayor of Southwark, Cllr Dora Dixon-Fyle. African drumming and street performers kept the crowds entertained, while displays within St Peter’s Church went into the history of the local area and the Walworth Road.

ILLEGAL TOBACCO COUNCIL VOWS TO GET WORTH £80,000 TOUGH ON FLY-TIPPERS SEIZED IN STING www.southwarknews.co.uk/news

TWO BERMONDSEY men were arrested and £80,000 worth of black-market tobacco seized last week in a dramatic sting by HM Revenue and Customs officers.
The two alleged smugglers, aged 55 and 49, were arrested when HMRC officers carried out raids of ten business and residential residences in Southwark and Crawley on June 4. In total, 200,000 cigarettes, 80kg of rolling tobacco, £20,000 in cash and three vehicles were confiscated. Anthony Swarbrick, assistant director for HMRC’s criminal investigation department, said that the illegal tobacco industry “will not be tolerated.” He added: “This is theft from the taxpayer and money that should be funding our public services.” The 60-strong HMRC team were working in partnership with Southwark Council Trading Standards officers, who also took part in the raid.
Councillor Barrie Hargrove, Southwark Council cabinet member for public health, parks and leisure, said: “This operation has been a successful partnership between Southwark Council, HMRC and the police in the fight against illegal tobacco. “Together, we’ve been able to disrupt a major illegal tobacco network which has damaging effects for our local communities.” A 63-year old man from Bexley and a 60-year-old man from Crawley were also arrested.

THE COUNCIL has vowed to get ‘tough’ on fly-tippers after a video emerged last week of a fox scavenging through a gigantic pile of rubbish in Surrey Quays.
The mound of litter was dumped in the car park of Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, directly in front of a sign reading ‘DO NOT DUMP WASTE IN THIS AREA’. While it has since been cleared, the scene highlights the growing flytipping problem in the area. @WISE16, the Twitter account that took the video, told the News that “there is no excuse for this antisocial behaviour”. The Rotherhithe micro-blogging account said: “The most worrying aspect is the health hazard for the public. It attracts foxes, rats and simply encourages others to carry on with the fly tipping. It is a lack of respect for so many people living in this part of Rotherhithe. “It is also annoying knowing that Southwark Council offers a great free service to collect many items which were disposed in this spot. It also has a
very efficient huge recycling centre in Old Kent Road - the only requirement to use it is to be a resident in the borough.” Councillor Darren Merrill, Southwark’s cabinet member for environment and public realm, was equally scathing of the people responsible and pledged to take “tough action” against those who committed such crimes. He said: “Despite numerous attempts to tackle the flytipping issue at the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre car park, there remains a persistent group of people who spoil the area for everyone else.
“Although we do not manage the site ourselves, we’ve been working with the site owners to help tackle the issue. We’re now clearing up the rubbish on a daily basis and have installed new signage. “We are also regularly monitoring the CCTV footage and will be taking tough action against anyone found illegally dumping on the site.” A spokesperson for Surrey Quays Shopping Centre added: “The recycling area in Surrey Quays Shopping Centre’s car park is operated by Southwark Council who were immediately informed of the current incident.”

First ‘Cancer Survivors’ Day’ held
CANCER SURVIVORS, patients and campaigners celebrated Britain’s first ever ‘Cancer Survivors’ Day’ last week at a special event held at Guy’s Hospital. Twenty survivors who had been treated at Guy’s, St Thomas’ and King’s College hospitals put on a fashion show as part of the fun last Sunday. Live music was also played and guests were given tours of the hospital’s new cancer centre, which is due to open this autumn. Jake West, 20, recently got the allclear after undergoing treatment for a rare brain tumour for the last three
years. He said: “I walked down the catwalk for my mum, my friends and family, and the dedicated staff who supported me. It wasn’t just my cancer journey, it was all of ours, and I could not have done this if it wasn’t for them. I spent most of my teenage years living with a brain tumour, but, after a successful operation and tough recovery, I’m living my life again.” The event was connected by a live video link with John Hopkins Cancer Center in Baltimore, USA, where Cancer Survivors’ Day has been held for 20 years.

Community group applies to make old boozer a ‘community asset’ By Amelia Burr
amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
A LOCAL history society is rallying the troops to protect The Elephant and Castle pub after news broke that plans were being developed for the site by estate agents Foxtons. The Walworth Society has submitted an application to have the pub registered as an Asset of Community Value. This could mean
the community would be offered the chance to purchase the pub or could help to retain the use of the site as a public house. Chair of the Walworth Society, Jeremy Leach, says there has been a public house on the roundabout site, at the junction of Newington Causeway and New Kent Road, since 1765 and it is the origin of the name of the area. Southwark Council’s cabinet member for regeneration and new homes, Mark Williams, said the Foxton’s proposal to take over the venue was not “part of our plan and we will work with the local community to stop this from happening." Earlier this year the owners of the Elephant and Castle pub had their licence revoked following two violent
incidents at the end of January. A late-night brawl on January 29 saw a man stabbed “in the eye with a pen, which remained there until it was removed by staff at hospital,” according to Southwark Council’s licensing committee. Two days later, another “serious assault” occurred at the venue, in which one customer accused another of inappropriately touching his girlfriend and struck him, causing facial injuries. The pub’s licence was temporarily suspended as an interim measure, but this suspension has now been made permanent following the committee’s meeting on March 2. If you would like to support the Walworth Society in their bid to retain the site as a public house, email jeremydhleach@compuserve.com

So many people have thanked my staff team and Liberal Democrat colleagues here in Southwark for work that we have done together for local residents, families, businesses and organisations over the years. While I am working as quickly as I can to reply personally to everybody who has contacted me, it will take a couple of weeks to complete this. So to reach as many people as quickly as possible, I want now to say a huge thank you for so many generous, kind and thoughtful expressions of support. All this has made the privilege of having been the local MP for so long even greater and my love and appreciation for our wonderful people and communities even more.

Save Peckham from the pound shops and hipster cafes
SOUTHWARK GREENS object strongly to the proposal to change the “Use Class” of the building at the corner of Highshore Road and Rye Lane in Peckham from A1 (shops and retail outlets) to A2 (professional services), and to convert the premises into multiple smaller units including an estate agency.
The business currently operating at the site sells furniture and homewares and is profitable. It is one of the few new businesses in Peckham town centre that is neither a pound shop nor a hipster café. Why then is Southwark Council prepared to close it? This issue has worrying similarities with the Peckham Rye

Station Gateway project. Talented and resourceful local people take a risk in creating new businesses, make them viable, and then Southwark Council tries to develop premises in ways that close them down, in favour of identikit businesses imposed from outside. We need a better model of economic development that is for the common good of our community. Shouldn’t Southwark Council be supporting and encouraging viable local businesses? Many local residents have objected to this proposal, and we are very pleased to hear that this application has now been ‘called in’ to the planning committee. However, it has not yet been rejected. Southwark Greens urge all the councillors for The Lane ward, as well as the council officers, to reject this application that would destroy a viable local business. Anna Plodowski, Southwark Green Party Editor’s note: Local people can make their thoughts known on this and other furture planning developments in their area by registering for planning notices that affect them.

I can prove the council is wrong!
ON MONDAY June 1st, 2015, I started my weekly, one-man sit down protest at The London Borough of Southwark offices, Tooley Street, over the Council's failure to stop our residential block's communal spaces from being used as a toilet on a regular basis, and the council's inability to sanitise the area properly afterwards.
My mini-protest and the ongoing battle to get the problems sorted
Cllr John help stop us from becoming a super-rich ghetto
I AM writing in response to your banner front page headline over Right to Buy (4th June 2015) and to share the concerns and fears of Councillor Peter John, Leader of Southwark Council.
was picked up and subsequently published by the News, (June 4th, 2015 - Dirty Protest) I was shocked and surprised to read the Council's response to the News that Newman House residents had returned a ballot with the majority against the installation of a secure door entry system. I have in my possession a genuine and legitimate copy of a letter fromcthe Council addressed to the Local Government Ombudsman (LGO) in relation to this exact matter, date 16 December 2009, which clearly states the following. “In Aug '09, after the involvement of a local councillor a ballot of residents was performed to assess the need for a new door entry system. A majority replied requesting this upgrade. The council are currently still in the process of seeking quotations for the installation of a new system from three contractors. Once a company has been chosen and funding secured - residents will be consulted about the final design.” And concludes: “The Council: Does not believe it has acted unreasonably, delayed or failed pursue installation of a secure door entry system to Newman House.” AJ Hilditch, Elephant & Castle
The fact that this government has decided to extend the ‘right to buy’ is part of an ideology, rather than a concerned government accepting that for a decent society everyone needs a decent affordable home. That is to say, affordable to people in most need, set at the levels of municipal rents and not at 80% or even 60% of inflated rents on offer from greedy private landlords and some Housing Associations. We believe that it is time the Council stood shoulder to shoulder with us to fend off the worst effects of this policy which means that the subsidised sales to Housing Association tenants will be paid for by the sale of council homes. Cllr John says that this will have the greatest impact in the north of the borough. We believe it will affect the entire borough and we believe it will create a super-rich ghetto in the centre of London. We council tenants stand in treble jeopardy; the effects of house sales under RTB sales, the proposed RTB sales of Housing Association properties, and the policy of councils all over London, including Southwark, from developments like the Aylesbury and Heygate estates which this Council has enthusiastically supported. Whilst Councillor Peter John expresses his concerns, he gives very little indication about what he is going to do about it. So I say once again it is time Cllr John and his Labour colleagues joined with us to protect our homes; unless he wants Southwark to be the domain of the super-rich who will soon be living in the former council estate called the Heygate and large parts of the Aylesbury. Cris Claridge, Chair of Southwark Group of Tenants’ Organisations
of costs, the Mayor has surprisingly proceeded with the dramatically more expensive proposal to extend the Bakerloo line south of its current terminus at Elephant and Castle.
This is a very welcome proposal indeed, offering up the certainty of enormous new housing and business developments for Southwark, and speed and convenience for passengers. Southwark Council should take credit for its lobbying strategy in achieving this proposal. There was a massive response to last year’s consultation, with TfL receiving over 15,000 responses, 96% of which were in favour of extending the Bakerloo line southwards. The consultation proposed two route options through Southwark, one along the Old Kent Road and one via Camberwell and Peckham. Realistically, only one option will be taken forward. I have always maintained that whichever proposed route is not selected for the Bakerloo line, Transport for London absolutely must develop alternative transport improvements. Both Old Kent Road and Camberwell and Peckham currently suffer a chronic lack of high capacity public transport and this must be addressed in both cases, regardless of which Bakerloo route is chosen. This is a long term project, and even the current delivery date of 2030 is optimistic. This may explain why the Mayor interested in the project over the shorter term Cross River Tram project – he ultimately will not be picking up the bill. Meanwhile, I hope other improvements can be put in place for both areas – for example, our public street environment. TfL have been very successful in making busy roads and pavements more attractive elsewhere in my constituency – for example along the A23 in Streatham – by means of removing barriers and clever use of planting. I will be visiting Streatham with the charity Living Streets shortly to look at what has been achieved, and look at how similar measures can be delivered elsewhere – such as along the Old Kent Road! These are smaller scale improvements while we wait for the Bakerloo line proposals to be progressed further. My experience is that major expensive, projects like this often get delayed and strung out for financial reasons, the point is that the ‘best shouldn’t be the enemy of the good’ – Improvements for the environment and streetscapes of the Old Kent Road and Camberwell should not be put on hold while we wait fifteen or more years for our new tube extension.

Murder on the dancefloor
THERE WAS a keen crowd in for Tristan Bernays’ Teddy. Lured by the promise of sex? Wanton violence? Or maybe the live rock ‘n’ roll band, Johnny Valentine and the Broken Hearts? To me it looked like many of the audience were there to relive a special time in their own lives when Teddy Boys came to the Elephant & Castle, writes Michael Holland...
The band looked the part: a Buddy Holly look-alike, An Elvis clone and even a Peggy Sue. You could feel the floor throbbing from all the toe tapping when they broke into the first of their original numbers, Heartache Express. The real action began, though, when Teddy and Josie appeared. They began preparing themselves for a night out, ensuring every detail was spot on and every hair in place

whether it was held with pomade or lacquer. They were Teds and the look was everything; it was the clobber that told the world exactly who they were. They meet and spark off an attraction to each other that you want to end happily, but when a gun joins the plot you fear for them. The words were delivered in verse, quite Shakespearean in style, and it caught me by surprise at first, but it gradually drew me in and I can only applaud the writer for doing it like this. It was witty, clever and, bar a couple of anachronistic references, very much of the era it was set in – the 1950s. Line of the night: ‘He was a six foot Ted – seven with the quiff!’ LAMDA schooled Joseph Prowen plays Teddy just right and gets to show off his singing, comedy and dancing skills. Jennifer Kirby, also ex-LAMDA, is brilliant as Josie.

YOU KNOW that summer is here when the Southbank is abuzz with excitement as pop-ups pop up in every corner. The famous purple cow is back on her back, as is the Spiegeltent. And that is where I found myself last night after swerving my way through jugglers, mime artists and other assorted street performers, to see Scotch & Soda, writes Michael Holland...
I loved the irony of a show called Scotch & Soda that began with free lager and Pimms. I wish I had arrived earlier… Involved in these shenanigans were, according to the programme, a Chelsea McGuffin, a Mozes, who looked like Rasputin and was definitely as mad!

The band were a ragtag bunch reminiscent of runaways from There Will Be Blood, and played on a range of instruments that looked like they had been made from stuff found on the Waterloo foreshore: drums made from bits and boxes and played with wooden spoons, a tennis racquet violin and a shovel guitar! The show included lots of full frontal nudity from Mozes, firstly from a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ that was as unplanned as Janet Jackson’s, in the early part of this acrobatic extravaganza, and a full on streak later on where you could see he had warmed up a little, as it were!

top-of-their-game acrobats and accomplished musicians who gave us a non-stop show of overwhelming energy, strength and power.

You Must Like It
AS YOU Like it is a series of bravura performances held together by a tale that beggars belief. Blanche McIntyre’s direction insures that the audience is carried along through the machinations of the dastardly Duke and into the Forest of Arden where, with the good Duke, courtiers laze under the trees and sing songs. The fugitives, Orlando, Adam, Rosalind, disguised as Ganymede, Celia, disguised as Alaria and Touchstone are wrestling with their confused passions and getting mixed up in the love affairs of the shepherds. This crazy pastoral is mocked and disdained by the melancholic Jacques (James Garnon) and accompanied by the humour of Touchstone (Daniel Crossley), writes Liz Carlin... And no, it isn’t confusing, except for the characters, and it is very funny. The sombre funeral at the beginning and the fraternal battles set the scene for the well-choreographed wrestling match between Orlando (Simon Harrison) and the excellent Charles (Gary Shelford). Rosalind (Michelle Terry), watching, falls in love with Orlando and he, likewise smitten, is persuaded, once in the Forest, to woo Ganymede as Rosalind and this farce is mirrored by the two subplots of Touchstone and Audrey and Shepherdess Phebe and

shepherd Silvius. The nuptials, overseen by a hilarious Hymen resolve all issues. The Forest is a heady place and evoked entirely by the words and the music and the rustic costumes. All the acting is good and that of the principles very good indeed. Famous speeches are given new life (Jacques) and Rosalind delights continually by her lively and energetic performance. Touchstone is athletic in both word and action and the songs and the musicians and some wonderful dirty dancing provide well-judged crowd-pleasing moments. Perhaps it could have been a little shorter, but that is a quibble. As usual blown away by the traditional and glorious set piece at the end.

WHAT’S ON 29
history
HAVE YOU ever walked down the street where you live and wondered who walked in those same footsteps through those same front doors for generations before you?
For residents living in Reverdy Road in Bermondsey, all their questions were answered when the BBC series ‘The Secret History of Our Streets’ came knocking, writes Amelia Burr... Episodes from the 2012 documentary season looked at six London streets to see how they had changed since Charles Booth’s survey of London in 1886. The aristocratic West family had bought a huge plot of farmland in Bermondsey in the 1800s and built 790 houses on it in order to profit from London’s population boom at that time. It was known as the West Estate and is comparable to the swathes of new builds we see in the borough by large property developers these days. The new homes built in yellow brick were described by Booth in his notebook after visiting the area in 1900. “Some are tenanted by one family but the majority by two,” he wrote. “Good gardens at the back. Railway men, engine drivers, police, and guards live here.” He added that the houses were seldom empty and hard to get – no change there then. Booth’s colour-coded class map of London had Reverdy Road as pink meaning ‘comfortable with good ordinary earnings’. One building in particular stands out in the road above all others, the large house at the end, which has been the home to the local GP since 1891. It has been home to Dr Max Gammon since 1979, who is proud of the long legacy of community medicine behind him. “I do believe it is the end of an era. I’m the last of a line. I’m very privileged to have been the last doctor to live in this house,” he said, estimating that the surgery had seen more than a million visitors over the years. Dr George Cooper was the first resident in the house with his wife, eight children and a servant. Like Dr Salter to follow him, he was elected as MP for Bermondsey in 1906. Dr Gammon said one of his older patients when he first started still remembered Dr Cooper arriving in a horse-drawn carriage for visits in his top hat. In 1920 Alfred Salter embraced the role, considering himself a Christian missionary and believing being a GP in Bermondsey was his calling. He pioneered many radical health reforms, including the nation’s first solarium to treat tuberculosis. Charles Booth, who met Dr Salter, wrote of him: “Mr Salter is above average, a cheery pleasant fellow whose visits are more likely to be welcomed and much more tactful than many of his brother missionaries.” In a socialist spirit patients only paid what they could afford when they visited the Reverdy Road surgery and those who could not afford anything would receive treatment free of
charge. In addition Mr Salter made Reverdy Road and all of Bermondsey a green and pleasant land by leading a massive programme of tree-planting in the borough. Dr Salter said of his 1,000-strong borough-wide orchard: “The trees not only add to the beauty of this neighbourhood, but the green matter of the leaves is purifying the atmosphere and helping to make Bermondsey a more healthy place.” Following Dr Salter’s death in 1945, Dr William Mumford took over. Originally intending to serve as a missionary in far off lands, he soon found that he was needed more than ever on his own doorstep. In a letter he wrote: “After I’d been in Bermondsey for two years I felt very much that this foreign work wasn’t the call after all. I felt increasingly that I wanted to be as good a Christian doctor as I could be working among ordinary people.” The Reverdy Road surgery finally closed in 1994. As is well documented, Bermondsey was particularly badly hit during the blitz. In fact, the second bomb to fall in the bombardment of September 1940 was in Reverdy Road. Five houses in the street were destroyed in subsequent bombing raids. Dr Mumford estimated in his diary that: “The population of Bermondsey dropped from about 120,000 to 20,000 during the war, but we kept the practice going.” Reverdy Road resident, Elsie Eaves remembered taking shelter in a local school when the school itself took a direct hit. “We were sheltering in the school and then suddenly they dropped a bomb on the school and then all we could see was sky,” she said. “All the debris had fallen on us and the man my mother was talking to was standing there dead. All my family stood up and there wasn’t a scratch on us and yet all the people were dead and pieces of bodies and that and all the debris all round us.” Former Reverdy Road resident, Keith McClaren returned to the street for the documentary and saw the hole where the house he lived in as a baby once stood. When he was two years old his family home was bombed out. Though they were at home, mercifully no one was hurt and they simply moved over the road to number twelve to live with Keith’s grandparents. In the post-war era the Reverdy Road houses still had outdoor toilets and no bathrooms. Resident, Linda Sage remembered a tin bath which hung on a hook in the garden, which would once a week be filled with hot water from all the saucepans they owned. Neighbour Mary Ripper said in her house they took it in turns to go in the tin bath in front of the fire and by the

Dr Mumford
time the last person went in “the water was black.” New legislation requiring landlords to fit indoor bathrooms in all their properties forced the West family to sell their estate and in a shrewd move the Bermondsey Council bought the lot in 1960. Thanks to the 1980s Right to Buy policy allowing council
Elsie Eaves
tenants to buy their homes, only 40 percent remain in council ownership today. One council house in Reverdy Road sold at auction during the filming of the programme for over £300,000. After renovation it was estimated to go back on the market for half a million – more than the council paid
for all 790 properties put together. Though the houses look the same as when Charles Booth came to visit – he would now have to change the colour on his map to reflect a more affluent resident these days – half a million is outside the budget of most people who are ‘comfortable with good ordinary earnings’.

A
new restaurant opening is always good news and the latest New Bambino on the Block is Valentina, an Italian family concern who have been plying their trade for almost 25 years, with restaurants in London and the Home Counties, writes Michael Holland...
The latest one in Shad Thames is their biggest. I was Sunday lunching with Nina The Erstwhile Ballerina, who quickly began salivating over all the cheeses on offer in the delicatessen section, and who had to be seated well away from the cheese and calmed down with a Peroni and a bowl of Parmigiano Reggiano – chunks of 24 month old Parmesan! Once the patient had been settled we ordered Primavera, a selection of mushrooms, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes marinated in olive oil and garlic, and Fritto Misto: deep-fried Calamari, King Prawn and Courgette. The Primavera really was something that made you go Mmmm, and the Fritto Misto was just about perfect in every respect; i.e. the lightness and crispiness of the batter combined with squid cooked for just the right amount of time. The chef kindly sent out a bowl of mini Salame for us to try, and they went down a treat. We both agreed that we had got off to a good start. Being just days from opening, Valentina has a real sense of newness, despite being nicely kitted out with restored post-war vehicles that create an old Italian vibe. Italian pop playing quietly in the background, interspersed with the occasional Dean Martin track, added to the overall effect. I wanted to have something authentically Italian so went for the Cappella Romana, which is Tagliatelle with Meatballs and Mozzarella wrapped in Ham and served with a Tomato and Basil Sauce. It arrived looking like a pudding and was something I had never tried before but was very glad that I did as it was delicious. The Ballerina, on the other hand, had stuck with a tried and tested Seafood Risotto that was so full of clams, mussels, octopus, prawns and squid that she felt moved to note that ‘it’s just like being at sea!’ Both us hearty diners could not finish our main course. One, because they were rather hefty servings, and two, because we both had an eye on a dessert course to follow. We gave ourselves time for dish three with a glass of Montepulciano for me, a delightful red, and a Fortezza Greco Di Tufo for the lady. They nicely accompanied a chat on Nina’s army child background that included the Venison story and the Lamb tale, which left me in no doubt why she is a pescatarian now. As she was showing me the scars from when Simon Norcup bit into her calf at age

seven our waiter slipped dessert menus in front of us and made a quick exit. Keeping it truly Italian I had a Tiramisu, quirkily served in a mug, and my dining companion the Panna Cotta. There’s not a lot to be said about those two other than they were shining examples of their kind. As our lunch ended with an espresso for Nina, we concurred that we had enjoyed a very pleasurable two hours. I predict Valentina will soon be a welcome addition to the Shad Thames restaurant community.

32 ADULT LEARNERS
It’s never too late to learn! www.southwarknews.co.uk

THIS WEEK from the 13th – 19th June is Adult Learners' Week – a national celebration of getting adults back into education and training.
Locally, colleges and other institutions will be offering taster days and sessions to show the wealth of learning opportunities available to people wanting to learn anything from flower arranging to languages and photography. Morley College, located in Westminster Bridge Road near Waterloo, offers over 2,500 courses covering a broad range of interests, from art & design, fashion, dance, drama, music and humanities to languages, health, English & maths, business & enterprise and access to higher education. It offers courses at a range of levels from beginner to advanced, which are taught parttime during the day, evening and weekend. The courses are extremely affordable, with some coming in at just £10. On Friday 19th June the college is holding a day of free taster sessions called Morley Morsels. All the sessions are designed for absolute beginners and include memoir writing, electronic music producing, beading jewellery, Flamenco
The new Clapham site for Lambeth College
dancing, a hypnotherapy workshop and even an acting workshop called ‘Act Your Sox Off’. For a full list of sessions, to find out more and sign up visit www.morley college.ac.uk/ morleymorsels Over at Lambeth College they are making it easier for adults to re-train and change careers with loans to help them study. The College has a series of events planned to show adults what new qualifications or skills they could learn.. As Adult Learning Week starts, advisors at Lambeth College are getting ready to show students how their 24+ Advanced Learning loan scheme works. It is approved by the Student Loans Company and is offered under specific criteria to support adults, so they’re not prevented from participating fully in learning. Principal Mark Silverman told the News: “We understand what
a leap of faith many adults are taking when they decide they want to re-train when they’re a bit older, so we have experts who can give them advice and guidance about what level they should start at. It’s all about getting confidence. We are the Careers College though, so this really is the place to come to find out more. I would encourage anyone who is thinking about this to just come in to see us, and take it from there. It really is a chance to change your life. “During adult learning week is a good time too, because others will be thinking about making changes too, so people find they’re not the only ones starting again, and that is a huge support.” All over the Lambeth College sites in Clapham, Brixton and Vauxhall, learners of all ages are either gaining new skills or upgrading those they already have, so the environment often has people of all ages training together.

NON-LEAGUE 43
Kumar Sangakkara’s knock couldn’t stop Surrey losing out to Essex
By John Prendergast
news@southwarknews.co.uk
A HALF century from Kumar Sangakkara couldn’t stop Surrey falling to defeat against Essex in the Natwest t20 Blast last Friday, leaving the Kennington club rooted to the bottom of their qualification group.
Fisher FC Coach needed
effectively ended Surrey’s chances of a win when he scored 121 in Lancashire’s reply, and with strong support from the lower order the game headed for the inevitable draw. On the final day Surrey openers Rory Burns, 110 not out, and Zafar Ansari, 66 not out, batted out 61 overs leaving Kevin Pietersen sitting in the pavilion for what could be the final game of his English county career. Surrey’s fine County Championship form continued this week when they defeated Leicestershire at Grace Road by 178 runs.

The Kia Oval outfit have lost three of their four t20 outings this campaign and to move on to the knockout stages of the competition will require a rapid turnaround in results. Last week the Sri Lankan top scored with 58 off 38 balls in Surrey’s effort of 169 at the Kia Oval but the total looked well short of what was required, and Essex proved this was the case.
In the visitors’ reply Matt Dunn got two early wickets for Surrey but Ravi Bopara, with 57 off 48 balls, and Tom Westley, who notched 55 off 41 balls, stabilised the innings and did much of the work to ensure Essex made it home with four balls to spare. Surrey’s form in first class cricket has been far better this season and last week’s draw with Division Two leaders Lancashire leaves them in the promotion places in the table. The Kennington outfit batted well in both innings with Jason Roy accumulating another century in the Surrey’s first innings with a knock of 143, his highest score in the first class game.

League One lowdown 44 MILLWALL
www.southwarknews.co.uk/sport
Southwark News, Thursday June 11, 2015
2015-16 club-by-club guide - Part 2 The excitement is building as the countdown continues to the release of next season’s Sky Bet League One fixture schedule. The Football League will announce the provisional list in just six days so, with that in mind, Jay Taylor takes you through Part 2 of our look at who the Lions will face in the coming season... OLDHAM ATHLETIC
Founded: 1895 Stadium: Boundary Park Last season: 15th Current title odds: 25/1
Prior to the turn of the year Oldham had only lost six games and were in with a real shot of making the play-offs. Seven wins followed after the turn of the year turning possible promotion into a potential relegation battle. Manager Lee Johnson left for Barnsley in February with Dean Holden taking the caretaker reigns until Darren Kelly was appointed as manager at the start of May.
The last time Oldham and Millwall met was in League One in January 2010. A Neil Harris penalty just shy of the hour mark gave the Lions the spoils at Boundary Park. The referee had pulled play back 50 yards after the assistant spotted an off-the-ball incident.
Fact: During 2000-01, Chaddy the Owl, Oldham’s mascot, was repeatedly flagged offside after the linesman kept mistaking the bird for a Latics player. After consulting with the referee, Chaddy, who was wearing a jersey but does have a big furry head, received his marching orders and Oldham went on to lose the match against Peterborough 4-1.
PORT VALE
Founded: 1876 Stadium: Vale Park Last season: 18th Current title odds: 100/1
PETERBOROUGH UNITED
Founded: 1934 Stadium: London Road Last season: 9th Current title odds: 10/1
Peterborough were sitting pretty in the upper reaches of League One after losing just three of their opening 13 games, but after just four wins in their next 19, manager Darren Ferguson was sacked and replaced with academy coach Dave Robertson. Robertson rejuvenated an ailing Posh side but they tailed off and finished in ninth, failing to make the play-offs after finishing third the previous season.
Peterborough moved off the bottom of the Championship after they thrashed Millwall 5-1 at The Den in February 2014, the last time the two teams met. George Boyd would prove to be instrumental for the visitors in his final game for the Posh before moving to Hull City.
Fact: When Fletton United added Peterborough to their name to become Peterborough and Fletton United in 1921, then manager Pat Tirrell said he was looking for posh players for a posh team. The club have been known as The Posh ever since.
ROCHDALE
Founded: 1907 Stadium: Scotland Stadium Last season: 8th Current title odds: 22/1
After narrowly surviving relegation to League Two, Port Vale will look to consolidate in League One next season. After a run of six defeats on the bounce in March, Vale’s mid-table season became a relegation battle. Two points off the bottom four with five games to go gave fans a fright. One defeat in their final five games, however, was enough for Rob Page’s men to keep their third-tier status.
Rochdale’s first season back in League One was relatively successful. The Dale narrowly missed out on the play-offs by six points. A 4-2 reverse at home to Swindon, followed by a 1-0 defeat at Gillingham all but ended Dale’s hopes of a top-six finish. Manager Keith Hill will be hoping to go one step further in the forthcoming campaign.
Fact: Port Vale have defeated all of the other 91 clubs in the top four divisions in league games, apart from Stevenage.They have beaten them, however, but it was in the FA Cup, in 2009.
Fact: In Rochdale’s 108 years they have had three promotions and three relegations, with promotion coming in 1969, 2010 and 2014. Dale were relegated in 1959, 1974 and 2012.
Millwall ran out 3-0 winners against Port Vale the last time the two sides met in 2008. Lewis Grabban, Marc Laird and Dave Martin were the scorers in front of a crowd of 7,775 at The Den. The win left Port Vale rock bottom and they would go on to be relegated.
Founded: 1899 Stadium: Glanford Park SCUNTHORPE UNITED Last season: 16th Current title odds: 14/1
Last season for the Iron was a bit of a write-off. Not challenging for honours in England’s third tier, and with the season entering the final 10 games, Scunthorpe were dragged into a relegation battle. They stayed up by virtue of remaining unbeaten in their final five games.
April 2011 was the last time Scunthorpe entertained Millwall. A John Marquis brace gave the Lions the spoils that afternoon leaving Kenny Jackets side only two points off the play-offs in what was their first season back in the Championship. The defeat for Scunthorpe, however, all but sent them back to League One after two seasons.
Fact: Scunthorpe were one of four clubs to join the Football League for the 1950-51 season when the competition expanded to 92 clubs. The Iron still had to play in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup, however, and went down to Southern League club Hereford United.
Millwall and Rochdale haven't met competitively in 50 years. The last time the two sides locked horns ended in a 2-0 win for the Lions back in 1965. The win moved Millwall level on points with Dale in the old Division Four. The Lions would go on to win their final three games of the season and record a second successive promotion.
SHEFFIELD UNITED
Founded: 1899 Stadium: Bramall Lane Last season: 5th Current title odds: 6/1
Sheffield United made the League One play-offs last season after missing out the previous year. The Blades were involved in the title race all season but lost 7-6 on aggregate to Swindon in the play-off semi-final. Manager Nigel Clough was sacked and Nigel Adkins has been given the task of getting United promoted next season. Kevin Lisbie scored an injury-time equaliser at Bramall Lane to secure a point for Millwall the last time the two sides met. The result left Millwall ninth in the Championship table with United sitting third bottom. The Blades would eventually be relegated.
Fact: Sheffield United have been involved in seven post-season play-offs and have failed to achieve promotion in any of them, losing four finals. The most recent of them was in 2012 and a penalty shoot-out defeat to Huddersfield in the League One play-off final.

SHREWSBURY TOWN
Founded: 1886 Stadium: New Meadow Last season: 2nd (League Two) Current title odds: 20/1
The Shrews sealed promotion back to League One on the penultimate weekend of the season with a 1-0 win over relegated Cheltenham. Boss Micky Mellow had guided his side to a consistent title challenge but were pipped to the post by Burton. A crowd of just 2,968 saw Shrewsbury and Millwall draw 1-1 in their last meeting in the old Division Two. The draw left Millwall seventh, outside the top six on goal difference. Shrewsbury, however, were languishing in 16th.
Southend left it late to secure promotion to League One via the play-offs after a penalty shoot-out victory over Wycombe at Wembley. The Shrimpers had been seconds away from defeat but a Joe Pigott goal two minutes into added time of extra time took the final to penalties, which Phil Brown’s men won 76.
Fact: Oliver Trigg set up a meeting with some of his fellow football enthusiasts in May 1906, feeling that Southend needed a semi-professional football club. Following this meeting Southend United was born.
Founded: 1879 Stadium: Swindon Town Last season: 4th Current title odds: 10/1
Mark Cooper’s side were 90 minutes from the Championship last season, but a Jermaine Beckford hat-trick and a Paul Huntington goal swept away the Robins 4-0 and left them facing another season in League One.
The last time Millwall met Swindon the Lions clinched promotion to the Championship. It was on May 29, 2010 at Wembley when a Danny Schofield corner was poked in from close range in the 39th minute by captain and Lions legend Paul Robinson. Charlie Austin missed a one-on-one after a bobble redirected his effort wide and Millwall celebrated their first-ever play-off success.
Fact: In May 1910, Swindon Town travelled to Paris to play Barnsley in the Dubonnet Cup, an invitation trophy. The match was played at the Parc des Princes and the Robins won 2-1 with both goals coming from Harold Fleming.
WIGAN ATHLETIC
Founded: 1904 Stadium: Roots Hall Last season: 4th (Won League Two play-offs) Current title odds: 33/1
The last meeting between these two sides ended in a humiliating defeat for the Lions in January 2014. Roots Hall was the venue for an FA Cup third round tie shortly after Steve Lomas had been sacked as Millwall manager. Then League Two side Southend hammered Millwall, who were in the Championship, 4-1.
Fact: Shrewsbury have regularly entered the Welsh Cup throughout their history and last won it in 1985 when they defeated Bangor City 51 over two legs.
SWINDON TOWN

WALSALL
Founded: 1888 Stadium: Bescot Stadium Last season: 14th Current title odds: 33/1
Walsall’s season never really took off and was the definition of mid-table mediocrity. The season ended with Dean Smith’s men nine points off the relegation places and 10 off the top six. Smith is highly rated and Walsall will be looking to push on next campaign to make an impact in the league.
Alan Dunne struck a last-minute rocket to secure an invaluable point at the Bescot Stadium back in March 2010, the last meeting between the two sides. Walsall had taken a two-goal lead within 27 minutes before Steve Morison got a goal back two minutes later. Millwall went sixth in League One with that point, while Walsall remained 11th.
Fact: Walsall is the result of an amalgamation of two former midlands sides, Walsall Town and Walsall Swifts. They put aside their rivalry in 1888 to become the Walsall we know today.
Founded: 1932 Stadium: DW Stadium Last season: 23rd (Championship) Current title odds: 3/2
Wigan made the Championship play-offs in 2013-14 but last season were relegated to the third tier for the first time in over a decade. Uwe Rosler started the season as manager of the Latics before he was replaced with Malkay Mackay. That appointment didn’t go as expected and Gary Caldwell was tasked with trying to keep Wigan up. But the damage had been done and they were relegated.
The last time the two sides met was in April 2015 when Millwall came away with the three points. Millwall's player of the season scored the goal of the season as Jummy Abdou’s bullet header gave the Lions a 1-0 lead. Magaye Gueye added a second late on after three red cards had been dished out. Millwall’s Ed Upson was sent off after Martyn Waghorn and Jason Pearce had been given their marching orders.
Fact: Wigan have the youngest chairman in English football’s top four leagues. David Sharpe, 23, is the grandson of former Wigan chairman Dave Whelan. Whelan stepped down last season with Sharpe taking control.

LIONS GOING THE EXTRA MILE
PRECISION IS the operative word as work continues on the surface at The Den.
There are 22 miles of piping under the pitch, making the current maintenance work being carried out that bit more precarious. Head groundsman Dave BradburyShaw said: “You have to be careful when you dig down, we have had accidents in the past! “The underground heating is a foot down and the sprinkler pipes are about two feet down because of the frost.” The club will spend £80,000 this season on the upkeep of the surface at The Den and the four pitches and five training grids at Calmont Road.

CARIBBEAN CRUISE FOR YOUNGSTER
MCCARTHY LOOKING FOR DUNNE DEAL?
The 19-year-old defender was called up by Antigua and Barbuda last week for the CONCACAF qualifying games against St Lucia. The CONCACAF section began last March as teams aim to reach the group stage that will include the likes of Costa Rica, Mexico and the United States. The tiny Caribbean country has just over 90,000 inhabitants but managed to reach the third round of the 2014 qualifiers where they suffered a lastminute home defeat to the United States after current Nottingham Forest striker Dexter Blackstock had equalised.
The Tractor Boys are managed by Mick McCarthy, who was in charge of Millwall from 1992-1996. The long-serving defender was one of 18 players released by the Lions following relegation from the Championship. Dunne enjoyed a 13-year senior career with the club and, still only 32, he may feel he has a few more years left in him. Dublin-born Dunne was Millwall’s player of the year the last time they were promoted to the Championship in 2009-10.

TWITTER REACTS TO NEW KIT
MILLWALL’S 2015-16 kit seems to have found favour with the majority of fans and players.
Sid Nelson tweeted: “The new kit is spot on. Looks retro.” Aiden O’Brien, meanwhile, changed his Twitter profile to a photo of him modelling the new attire. He seemed quite enamoured with the look and tweeted: “What’s everyone’s thoughts on it? I think it looks proper!” The fans’ reaction was also quite positive with Achtung! Millwall demonstrating impressive sartorial knowledge with this cheeky tweet: “I am very much liking the new Millwall kit, which harks back to the post-war austerity look circa 1947.”

CONNOLLY SILENCES ROY KEANE
DAVID CONNOLLY features in one of the more comical stories from Roy Keane’s second autobiography.
As Keane was delivering his first prematch teamtalk at Sunderland and focussing on the Derby County keeper’s weakness under crosses, he noticed Connolly slowly raising his hand at the back of the room. As Keane tells it: “I was keeping an eye on Dave. He still had his hand up. “‘What is it Dave?’ “I was wondering did he want to go for a p**s or something. “He said, ‘Gaffer, you know the keeper?’ “I went, ‘Yeah.’ “‘He was sold a week ago.’”

HARRIS LAUDS COACHING TICKETS

Chopper centrally involved in latest recruitment drive
By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
MILLWALL MANAGER Neil Harris has expressed his satisfaction with the new coaching appointments that were announced last week.
He also went into more detail about the merits of the individuals chosen to guide the club’s young players next season. Harris, who was in Portugal last week to reconnoitre the training facilities where the squad will fine-tune their preparations for the new season in July, has surrounded himself with trusted aides and took a hands-on approach in the search for the new coaching tickets.
Andy Frampton is a former team-mate, while Justin Skinner and Larry McAvoy stepped up from positions within the club. “It’s really important that myself and Scott (Fitzgerald) get that right,” Harris said. “We’ve done it in the correct manner, we interviewed quite a lot of people, a wide variety of people for the different positions to make sure we got the correct ones. “What was clear was that the guys we offered positions to were stand-out characters in what was a real highquality competition for the jobs. “Andy Frampton comes in with a
wealth of experience and knowhow to succeed at the club. He played a lot of games here in a successful period and he’s someone I know extremely well. He’s a top, top pro, and a real leader of a man. “To bring him in on a part-time basis is very fortunate for us. He’s doing his coaching badges at the moment, he’s learning that way and we’re delighted to get him in. We think he will help complement Justin Skinner really well being involved in the U21s.” Perhaps the most surprising appointment was the former Ireland striker David Connolly, who has taken the first step of his coaching career.
Harris also shares a brief history with the former Watford and West Ham man. “Scott and myself thought David Connolly, with his wealth of experience within the game, would be a great addition,” Harris continued. “I’ve done courses with David, I know him, he’s a proper football guy and he’s really passionate about the game. “I think that’ll rub off on the young lads. What we feel we have is a dynamic group staff-wise that the players will enjoy working with. That’s a key part of it.” Harris will bring a number of the U21 players to the training camp in Portugal and is clearly determined to build the club from the bottom up and put a strong
structural base in place. “It’s clear to see Scott is doing a great job in the academy and starting to see the hard work pay off for him and his coaches, and the board have backed him financially. “What they’ve done is start to keep the rewards, with the emergence of players, and you'll see with the players this year that it does work. “Getting that right at this transition period, with Dave (Livermore) stepping up, bringing Larry and Dave in, it’s really key. “These players are our future and we have to get the staff working environment and mentality right to give them an opportunity to play in our first team to bring success on the pitch.”

“HARD WORK” KEY TO YOUTH Frampton SUCCESS outlines his
EXCLUSIVE
By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
OF ALL the advice that Andy Frampton could impart to the Millwall players he will be helping to develop in the coming seasons, there is one message he puts top of the list.
Over the course of his sixteen-year playing career, the former Millwall defender dealt with a number of knocks that tested his resolve. There was the disappointment of falling out of favour at Crystal Palace, loan moves that were the only way to get first-team football, and leaving a club he professes his deep affection for. Finally, earlier this year, one last critical decision confronted him: have an operation that might buy some more time as a professional footballer, or call it quits and figure out what to do next? It’s a landscape that some of the young players under his charge will undoubtedly become familiar with over the course of their careers.
But after all the setbacks and successes, a simple alchemy was distilled and became a mantra: “Hard work, and extra work - above all,” Frampton says of the crucial ingredients required to make it as a professional footballer. “You’ve got to get up to the physical level that’s required to survive in professional football.” That was an insight that struck him not long into his own senior first-team debut at Carrow Road against Norwich City in 1999. It came for Palace just after that bizarre period when Italian international Atillio Lombardo and Swede Tomas Brolin somehow found themselves manager and assistant but couldn’t save the club from relegation from the Premier League. After Terry Venables had failed to halt the Eagles’ fall, Steve Coppell returned to the dugout for a fourth spell and handed 19-year-old Frampton his opportunity. His direct opponent that day was Adrian Forbes, who went on to join Millwall and played with Frampton for a season in 2008-09. “It was an eye-opener in terms of the levels of fitness required,” Frampton admitted. “You really found out quickly the level you needed to be at.” “We won 1-0 so it was a dream start. “Obviously it’s a dream when you’re a young player in the academy to make it to the first team, but if you’re not nervous before your first game there’s something wrong. “It was a really memorable day. I remember being up against Adrian Forbes and I think I got the better of him!” Frampton had come through the Palace academy with Clinton Morrison and Hayden Mullins and has spoken about the closeness among the young players at that time. It’s an atmosphere he will look to re-create at Millwall. Frampton’s leadership qualities were always apparent and he was named captain of Gillingham in 2011, shortly after loan spells at Leyton Orient and
Swindon Town. He played 30 times as the Gills won promotion to League One two years later before another two years at AFC Wimbledon, where he finally decided he’d had enough of his injuries and had to think about what he would do next. His thoughts had turned to a future beyond playing quite early in his career and he started aiming for his coaching qualifications when he was in his mid20s. He is still working on completing his badges and will soon have his UEFA A licence. At Millwall he will link up again with familiar faces he has worked with before in different capacities. Academy boss Scott Fitzgerald was briefly his manager during the 2006-07 season when he took over an ailing Brentford side but couldn’t save them from relegation to League Two. Fitzgerald said that job put him off league management but now, with Neil Harris and Dave Livermore at the firstteam helm, a host of former players are charged with shaping the future of the club. Frampton will initially work with players across the first team and underage squads and Fitzgerald hinted last week that as well as creating a consistent product line from the academy, the club feel they can also aid the development of their own coaches. And Frampton speaks with clarity and purpose about the areas he wants to work on. “I’m looking forward to gaining a better
personal philosophy
understanding of what it takes to be a top coach. “There is so much else that goes on behind the scenes at the football club to prepare the team for what the fans see out on the pitch.” “It was a fantastic opportunity to come back to a club I love and start the

next chapter in my career.” That enthusiasm was also obvious last week when he referenced his time at Millwall and touched on his coaching philosophy. “I’m over the moon that I have the opportunity to get into coaching,” Frampton told the club's website. “But certainly, to be back at Millwall as well, it’s a real positive thing for me. “Hopefully my experiences at the club, which range from being pretty poor to very good, means I know what it takes to put on a Millwall shirt. “Hopefully that will reflect in the way I coach the lads because I can give them an account of what it takes.” The 35-year-old is also keen to start working with Harris and his assistant Livermore and easily identifies the quality that stood out when he played alongside Millwall’s record goalscorer. He believes it’s an attribute that will be obvious to supporters when they watch the first team next season. “As well as being a brilliant striker - his stats speak for themselves when he played he absolutely demanded that everyone gave 100 percent all the time, and that never wavered. “I think towards the end of last season the fans could see that by what the players gave on the field, despite relegation. “He’ll demand the same next season and the players will be aware of that.”

HARRIS WOULDN’T BEGRUDGE FORDE MOVE AWAY By Jay Taylor
jay@southwarknews.co.uk
MILLWALL MANAGER Neil Harris has revealed he wouldn't begrudge David Forde a move away from the club, should the goalkeeper want one.
The Irish international has been linked with a number of Championship clubs after it was revealed that he has a free transfer clause in his contract. And Harris has said he if moves on it will be with his blessing, but hasn’t ruled out the 35-year-old staying with the club. “David is away with Ireland at the moment,” Harris said. “He has aspirations to be Ireland’s number one, and rightly so, he’s a top goalkeeper. “Any player who has an opportunity to play at the highest level, for their country or in the Premier League or the Championship, and can get that opportunity, we wouldn't begrudge him that. ‘The player’s situation is pretty clear: if he is to move on to enhance his international credentials, we are quite happy with that. “On the flip side, however, if he doesn’t and he stays, we get to keep a top
goalkeeper. Nothing is happening at the moment. It’s a pretty relaxed situation for all of us.” In terms of players joining the club, Harris says he is hopeful Millwall will have some fresh faces in their team by the time the squad reassemble for preseason. The Lions return for training on June 25 and, while Harris wouldn’t be drawn on reported targets, he said work on acquiring priority players was going “really well”. “Things are moving and progressing nicely,” Harris continued. “As ever, as I’m finding, things aren’t happening overnight. “Gone are the days when you could speak to clubs and players and get things done in a week. Now things take a lot longer. “At this time, people disappear on holiday so players, agents, other managers you need to speak to, things just seem to take time.” “We’ve got priority targets where things are progressing nicely. “Hopefully by the time we get back to pre-season training there will be one, two or three in the building, with one or two to follow during pre-season.”

TICKET SALES SURGE ‘DUE TO HARRIS’ By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
MILLWALL COMMERCIAL director Alan Williams believes fans’ faith in Neill Harris is helping to drive season ticket sales.
Boss would give keeper his blessing to progress international aspirations PCO Drivers Required
Despite the club’s relegation to Sky Bet League One, sales are up compared to this time last year. Williams also reported healthy membership sales, as anticipation continues to grow ahead of the release of the provisional fixture schedule for the coming season next week. “We had hoped to match last season, but we’re around 25 percent up on last year,” Williams said. “I think the mood among the fans is one of excitement and they’re looking forward to it. They’ve got a manager that they want and they’re quite enthusiastic about next season. That’s reflected in the sales. “Memberships went on sale last week and they’re flying as well. “We thought one might counter the other but it’s looking quite good at the moment.” “We’re always looking for new revenue streams. The more money we can make for the club the more money there is for Neil to spend on players. “We have to be open to anything that can generate revenue as long as it’s not to the detriment of the football club. “It makes it harder going down to League One because, commercially, people don’t consider there are as many eyeballs on League One as there are on the Championship.” “To be fair, we won’t be as far away this year from where we were last year. A lot of the arrangements we have have been renewed or are rolling anyway. “We haven’t seen too much negativity in the eyes of commercial sponsors anyway.”
