I cam across your website by accident looking up references to Dr Salter’s Daydream, which my wife and I also found in a walk from Brunel Museum to Waterloo. We went to Nunhead Cemetery in March last year looking for the grave of my maternal grandmother who died in 1937. We were disappointed that the cemetery was so overgown and it took two visits and a lot of hard work to find the headstone. Having found it and cleaned it up we set it up in a clearing near another which someone had obviously lovingly cared for. It was interesting though that the name on the headstone was incorrect. It had her name as Florence Winifred Plumb instead of Florence Annie Plumb. Winifred was one of the daughters’ names and it probably got mixed up in the grief of the moment.

Thanks Miss Schlegel, it’s actually really nice to hear that other people enjoy my photos. I’ve got quite a few more from Nunhead, which I’ll try put up on Flickr in the next week or two – hopefully that will suffice until your next visit to London. I hadn’t thought of the similarity to the Cottingley fairies, but now you mention it, that last photo does have that sort of ethereal quality. Thanks again for the feedback (BTW, I’ve been enjoying reading your blog too).

I have this post marked “as new” on bloglines so I get to look at it every day. Your photos are terrific â€” specially the last, which looks like a Cottingley fairy.

Next time I am in London (and bear in mind I am Australian) I have promised myself I’ll go.
