This publication, just the old LCC, but otherwise London in general

Time again to thank the London Topographical Society for yet another amazing value annual publication - this time a collection of parish maps, from 17th century to 1900.

Naturally I went first to the maps of Sydenham - you ...

Not that I know of.

With further responses you may not expect and that only some people may be aware of.

It is not a forum war.

This thread is generated by the overly intrusive actions of an individual with an aggressive and predatory behaviour pattern who normally selects his targets by his ...

Does anyone know if Chris is just a one off? Does anyone know of other areas where someone like him is active? As far as I can see, in most places people with explicitly local interests go along with Facebook. Avoiding being judgemental about what "someone like him" means, the questions amounts to ...

More effort should be spent making Sydenham Road more walker/bike friendly. Queensthorpe Road is already blocked off and has not benefited the residents of Sydenham other than the homeowners who already live within the conservation area and left a big square opposite the post office that is ...

I understand the works are due to start tomorrow?? Please correct me if I am wrong. The https://lewishamcovidresidentialstreets ... ad/details website was still taking comments up to an hour ago, why?
I have written to Chris Best and Liam Curran and expressed my concerns about the seeming ...

For me, what's not to like is that not enough thought seems to have gone into the impact of where traffic will inevitably go instead. I'm concerned about an increase in traffic and air pollution in and around Mayow Road. I'm very much in favour of a reduction in car use, I don't own a car and ...

Maybe Acorn just got the address wrong? Estate agents use subcontractors for placing and collecting sign boards so mistakes or inattentiveness can happen.

As I understand it, new legal rules came in a few years ago, whereby a "For Sale" board can be placed only if commissioned for that property ...

Just hearing from a neighbour that someone, presumably paid for by Acorn Estate agents, went into their front garden and posted a board saying "LET BY ACORN". Totally untrue, as they admitted when some other neighbours rang to complain.

Didn't Lee Newham organise some action a few years back ...

There are a series of proposals on road closures in Lewisham to support walking and cycling in the wake of Covid-19. One of the proposals is to close SIlverdale and Bishopsthorpe Road to traffic. You can find more details and comment here: https://lewishamcovidresidentialstreets.commonplace.is ...

When you say 'local press', do you mean the Newsshopper? I don't get it

Whe knew actual Town Hall meetings were available by webcast?

Hi,
I’m new to this forum but have enjoyed reading all the posts over the years about the Croydon Canal. I manage a nature reserve around where lock 20 may have been (Eddystone Bridge Crofton Park) and today we think we unearthed part of the structure where a bridge may have been. Also an ...

Yes Rachael you are right. Virgin might be bad but they are not in the same class as TalkTalk. TalkTalk are special.

Frankly Tim - you have a choice - end the contract now or stay with the most justifiably derided ISP in the business. Leopards are not going to change their spots anytime soon. Why ...

Take my advice - use a bodhrán

Obviously, the book group won't be able to meet for some time - certainly not in late March.
I'll post on here when we know a meeting will again be possible.
Stay safe!
Mike


Happy to host with Zoom.

It will be interesting to see whether Chris's decision means that there will now be more traffic on this forum. Or has the iron now entered too deep into everybody's soul for there to be any reconciliation between the Chrisites and the Stuartites?


Don't know, but the mush of moral equivalence ...

Pleased - and a bit apprehensive - to say I've just heard back from www.lewishamlocal.com

Thanks to having offered to help with an after school club, I had a valid DBS as well as a driving licence I was able to send back scans of this morning. As they say:

We are very busy with setting up a ...

Apologies if this has been posted here already - I'm not as frequent a poster here as I used to be
