Finally Doors is open! The current owner (not Jim who is now in France) came around for a cuppa just now and I was able to tell him that the shop is getting mixed reviews. With the owner giving permission to say so, Lee, the signage was done by a lovely guy called Tony who lives above the premises ...

Hi Aussie Girl - have mailed you

Do you use face book? There is a group set up for St Bartholomews - I can paste your request there if it helps?
I went there donkeys years ago and so did all 5 of my children. 2 of my grandchildren went there also! I've made note of your email address and will be in touch.

Thanks for the help I was answering a message sent to me but maybe the person doesn't come here that often (I'm guilty of that, too!)
I shall sit it out

I'm trying to reply to a message and it goes to my outbox, not showing as sent. I have 3 of these. Not sure what to do to make them 'send' ..... can you please speed them on their way?
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here

Many thanks

Thanks. I remember that as a teenager back in the dark ages, I was impressed by the thoughts of an electric typewriter with a daisy wheel ............ this is all an enormouse leap. I'll await my receipts then Admin!

I can't seem to send messages - they go to an out folder and don't show as sent? What am I doing wrong please (I used to manage this but not lately, it seems)

Hello Julia, We lived at 14 and I remember your grandparents really well although Terry was a fair bit older than me. Your grandmother was such a lovely person. One of her jobs was filling christmas crackers and she gave us a box of tiny plastic toys. I can see your dad in my mindseye. At one point ...

I great blog, a bit of a 'what was' about the lost cinemas of the Borough Of Lewisham. My uncle has memories of the Naborhood cinema and also talked about an ice rink in Silverdale (though I may have got confused about that last one - I'll ask him.)

I've taken my original post off as my mother realised she was mistaken. It was next door. Apologies.

This article is in the Daily Mail and is evident on facebook - anyone heard about this?

Contrary to most opinions I'm happy to use the new Tesco and it's a bonus that they carry a reasonable selection of gluten free products like ciabbata rolls that I would have to go to Waitrose Beckenham for. Sydenham road has never been a shoppers paradise but it is getting better with more choice ...

If it's for a toddler etc., and I'm told there are no appointments left, I usually say something along the lines of 'Should I then go to the hospital and tell them that you can't see a sick child?' Last time, it produced a nurse practitioner appointment and if need be they can call in a doctor. The ...

Brannan said ................Another is a picture of an outing in 1938 again showing a lot of local people - including three children who were killed when a bomb struck Bradford Rd........................... These were 3 of 6 children and the whole family were killed. They were called the Oddie ...

I tried to use the online system but could only get this far 'Unfortunately Sydenham Green Group Practice does not offer online registration for Patient Access at the moment' If I'm doing something wrong can someone please advise? It gets to the point where you just KNOW you'll finally get through ...

Back in 1969, I was at Sydenham School with a girl called Judith, who lived in a rented police house and the houses were new. They're near the top of Kirkdale above what is now Otto Close. They were eventually sold off. Same thing for a little row of houses in Dartmouth Road, Suncroft Place ...

Haberdashers - once a flag ship school. Still good but harder to get into as it has a feeder primary. It is now the lead school in a federation - the jury is still out on whether this has been a good idea or not. It has a very particular style which doesn't not suit every child. Small catchment but ...

I need to post an apology as something written in my last post isn't correct; The building in questiin (from the photo) is not the one I described. On Sunday, I showed the picture to my parents and they both say that whatever that structure was, it was more recent. In fact, strangely, neither can ...

Have just had a good look at the two photos above. The building just past Taylor's Lane was not really in use since 1940 and the bottom flat housed a family who then moved onto the Sydenham Hill estate. The dad/grandad was known locally as Sailor Johnson. It was pulled down in the clearance. The ...
