My late Mum was a cook at Sydenham girls school in the late 1960`s and early 70`s, and as my sister ate there, there was nowt wrong with the grub as I recall. Can`t get any fussier than her. The school dinners at Dacres road were Ok too, at least, I always went back for seconds. Mind you, as a child...

Myself I don`t think they look anything like part of a railway. What ever the top item is it looks as if it has been well worn buy something running over it, perhaps rope? There is so much junk buried under years of disturbance at the Palace grounds this could be absolutely anything. heres an Illust...

Indeed they do rebel, thanks for putting up that link; However there should be a health warning on that site, as you can lose yourself in it for hours!! As a confirmed conspiracy theorist it has always seemed to me to be more than coincidential that Beeching's [spit spit] savage massacre of our Rail...

It was on the opposite side of the road where the bus rank is, all houses there now I believe, the tunnel that led to it is there but blocked up. to the left of the bridge that is at the west end there was a turn table where the steam engines where turned round. Big old canopy over it, knocked about...

This story always generates mirth, but I can asure you there are more about than you'd think. In this part of Wiltshire sightings of them are regular, I have seen one close up myself at 3 in the afternoon, I actually went up to the blooming thing as it was having a pee thinking it was my employers L...

Some few years back, almost at the top of that long walk up from Sydenham hill station which comes out opposite the Wood House pub a guy commited suicide by putting a shotgun cartride into a bit of pipe, putting one end to his head and whacking the other end with a hammer, crude but messily effectiv...

That 1860 map is very confusing, I can`t relate the london chatham railway line to the present position of the brighton railway, or the old canal to the line of Penge lane at all, More like where its Green Lane would be today, the railway position is all wrong surely? It says as far as I can make ou...

blimey Falkor !!!!talk about information overload..... I am sure my source re Penge lane was off this site somewhere. as was the location of the toll gate in Hardings lane, also shown on one off your other maps. My conjecture is that Penge lane perhaps turned right at the Billet where it met Penge C...

For what its worth, The Penge lane here cannot be the present Penge Lane, as its been pointed out here that the road from Beckenham was called that previously, which adds to the confusion. The Porcupine has always intrigued me, as I used to live more or less where its marked on the old maps, I recko...
