Re: Tue 29 March - Recycling?

Good evening, All. I live on Venner Road and it is now the second week that our recycling bin has not been emptied in the usual collection. Today there was hope, as someone lined up all the green bins on the pavement ... but none were actually emptied. The Lewisham Council website states that we ...

Re: Dangerous dog - Venner Road

Seriously?

This dog is a very good example of bulldog. It is NOT an illegal breed.

This house in question is two doors down from mine and their dog has been simply amazing around our baby. We walk by them and they walk by us (and chat) and the dog has never acted viciously towards us. In fact ...

Re: 7 Kent House Road

Hello. My husband and I went to view #9 KHR. It is an interesting property but in need of a lot of TLC. The agent said that it would likely be bought by a property development firm and then converted into a couple of flats. That would be a shame, as it is the first house in this interesting row of ...

Re: Spooky house on Venner Road

Hi, All.
#88 is no longer spooky. It's spectacular.
I've watched its evolution over the past two years and can confirm that it is back in its grand Regency form.
I hope the owners do not mind but I am posting two pictures from today.
With great compliments,
Eleanor (#55)

Re: Welcome to new members!

Thanks for the warm welcome!
I moved to Venner Rd, Sydenham, just short of two years ago. I found the forum only today.
I am very interested in the history of my street and the Crystal Palace.

Re: VENNER ROAD 'CROFTON LODGE' DETACHED VILLA

What an interesting discussion! I live in the row of red brick Victorian houses, which was referred to earlier as the first developed part of Venner Rd.

My husband and I (from Western Canada) bought the freehold of #55/55a in 2012, so we moved in around the same time as the owners of #88. I am a ...
