Hi Dartmouth Road/Willow Way I think you'll find that's part of a really old report that was prepared as an exercise by Kingston University students, under their tutor architect Andrew Budd who used to live in Sydenham. It was a student exercise but presented to Lewisham, oh it must be about 10 ...

"On Sunday 1st Dec, I lost a bag of about 30 (mostly black and white) old family photos in the Dartmouth Rd area. They were in an airport security see through plastic bag. They are precious to me. Thanks"

This is so sad. Please be on the look out.

Sorry to hear about your daughter's car, Stuart. Mine is an 06 Jazz. Three years ago, during my first and last ever Hellfords service they told me that my catalytic converter had "reached the end of its natural lifespan" as "they only last a few years" and it needed replacing, along with the rest of ...

Have just (1.10 pm today Mon 7th Oct) caught catalytic converter thieves in the act of jacking up my car, which had been parked in Hassocks Close. We caught them and the drove off but have broken the catalytic converter and done God knows what other damage. The little shits were driving a pale blue ...

According to Transpontine ...

I haven't eaten in Hibagon for a while, but purely because it's been full whenever I've tried. I used to eat there a lot and will again. I love the freshness of the made to order sushi, the salmon don and bacon wrapped asparagus. This is the place also that introduced me to black garlic. Yumm. Oh ...

Sorry Admin but I don't know. I don't eat sausages. Everything I've tried has been fab. Most often I choose mushrooms on toast.

Café Jasmine on Kirkdale. An unsung hero. Unpretentious. Great value (you can get a decent breakfast for less than the price of a cup of designer coffee in some establishments). Great food and drink. Very, genuinely friendly. Menu here ... https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en&pb= ...

Mais House sits within Forest Hill electoral ward, although this is for politics only. There is no GP surgery within Forest Hill electoral ward. The 2011 census gave a figure of 14,854 people living within the Forest Hill electoral ward. I imagine most people from the new development will try to ...

That seemed strange wording to me too JGD. I don't understand what was meant by it. I did email the Chair of LNHS who has replied that he's asked the meeting organizer to investigate. I did get my primroses back. But only because my husband happened to be standing at an upstairs window and saw them ...

I live on upper Kirkdale and have just caught someone digging up primroses from my front garden. She was with a group calling themselves the London Natural History Society and she was clutching a reference book on wild flowers. They were walking downhill from the direction of the woods. One of their ...

In my memory I will always see the town that I have loved so well Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall And we laughed through the smoke and the smell. Going home in the rain running up the dark lane Past the jail and down beside the Fountain Those were happy days in so many many ways In ...

it would seem to be local knowledge that you are a member of the SydSoc exec with some involvement in The Windmill matter. Many thanks JGD for taking the time to reply and for the hepful links. I do appreciate it. Just one thing though: I am not, nor have I ever been, a member of the SydSoc exec ...

Sorry JGD but I still can't see anything about that in the planning application documents. As I'm sure you know, anyone can make a planning application. An applicant doesn't have to own the site or even have any kind of contract arrangement in place. The planning application's "Declaration of ...

According to the ownership declaration on the Planning Application, the All Inn One is still owned by the current landlords. Do you know otherwise? Yes. To the best of my knowledge a commercial contract arrangement is in place regarding the transaction of the sale of the business. It is to be ...

It just does not seem feasible that, given the matter of the sale being behind us, that any new licencee will see any prospect of commercial success in any venture that requires the retention of the existing building. According to the ownership declaration on the Planning Application, the All Inn ...

Shouldn't this thread be renamed "Petition to Demolish the All Inn One"? That's at the core of the Plannng Application after all

There is the rather underpublicized TNG (The Next Generation) youth centre on Wells Park Road (between the currently closed Talma pub and Wells Park). Not the easiest of people to get a reply from (at least I never managed it, so gave up trying a year or so back), but a huge amount of money was ...

Thanks Ben. I have emailed my Kirkdale photos to Lewisham's Highways Dept and to our FH Ward councillors (as although upper Kirkdale is in Sydenham SE26 we're in FH's political ward.) Part of the problem on Kirkdale is that CostCutters have a curtilage to the front, as do all the other businesses on ...
