Lewisham Neighbourhoods Chitter Chatter

Hello Pete....the Lewisham bridge was transformed into a christmas cracker many years ago....a fact I may have mentioned on here before.....a few of us remember it.
 
Perhaps this one might bring back some memories of the High Street... ;)

Does anyone remember the musical, spinning characters which used to come out of their clock housing and perform twice an afternoon in the shopping centre? I think they lived in column where the lifts outside Sainsbury's are now. They disppeared when the centre was revamped.
 
Honestly, you can take the boy outta Southwark... :D


HoiPolloi, your old manor never had property like this for sale. Part of Vanbrugh Castle is up for sale!
 
Neither does your manor love, I know the building as I used to live near it, it be in Blackheath, part of GREENWICH!!!;):cool:

Here be a map o ye ancient Greenwich, with all the new sad bits like Eltham attached.....

Anyway Southwark sadly has things like the Shard springing up in it....kinda rate Vanburgh a bit more so you not wrong there.....


Oops, I said 'your manor', but its mine now too!! So 'our manor' then:D
 
I've pretty much gauged how far away I'll need to be if that Shard thing ever comes down.... and the answer is.... Spa Road ;)

'Our' manor is right! You do indeed belong to us now, so suck iiiiiiiiit! :D

The Lewisham/ Greenwich border runs directly across the heath with the bulk being in Lewisham! Even your map proves it- follow the thin orange line- So suck it again !!! ;)
 
Oh Mel - I realise that as leader of the L.E.M. (Lewisham Expansion Movement - also your name backwards, very odd!) you have to claim any interesting things near the edges of the actual borough but Maze Hill is deffo in Greenwich.


As I now 'belong' to you, will I have to be branded or something?????:eek::D
 
Never saw that^^^ :D Lewisham branded!
All your hair weave and fake Luis Vuitton are belong to us!

Does Andy The Don still post here? He was quite local to me before he moved.
I just got sent an email saying a BBC London TV crew will be on Hither Green Lane tonight at 8pm to film a pop up cinema and to find out about the sale of the former Art Deco Park Cinema at the corner of HGL and George Lane.

Please come along from 7:30pm and tell everyone you know to come there too, the more we are the better. Bring your neighbours, your parents, your kids, bring strangers too!!
It has taken some doing but tonight we are having a pop up cinema on kids Korner/Park Cinema!!

We'll project a film on the facade of the former Cinema building and use this opportunity to present to everyone in London the document that we have prepared that explains how returning a cinema to Hither Green would make a bigger profit than another block of flats, and would be good for the community too!

Please be there tonight, and spread the word.
This is a unique opportunity to make potential investors in a community cinema know about next week's auction.

Its 5 minutes from HG train station, and 10 mins from Lewisham on the bus- 181/ 225 bus routes.


This is the project proposal: http://maxink.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/cinema-investment-proposal-final.pdf

Has anyone tried the Ravensbourne Arms?

No , walked past it today....looks like it is trying very hard to be 'just a proper pub' as per it's banner....has rows of old, hardback books carefully/casually placed on the windowsill...a blackboard outside saying 'beer garden open, children welcome'....and when I walked past later I think it had net curtains put up on the side windows???? Hope they don't put them up on the front....and can someone please go in and better my 'peering through a dark window' review please....and check out the garden while you're there....thanks...
 
Brownhill rd- South Circular has been closed for an hour, and no time for re-opening in the very near future....sadly a cyclist has been knocked off bike and it could be 'life changing' so closed to all traffic.
 
Not quite Lewisham, I know, but the rumour mill has it that someone's been shot in Woolwich this evening. Coming on top of the poor lad stabbed in Welling on Friday and the bloke shot in Greenwich last night, that's three killings in a week in this part of London... :(
