Lewisham Neighbourhoods Chitter Chatter

Nice to see there's a Lewisham thread here - I was born and raised there; still live in the area :)

I've been looking for a more active local community; maybe this'll be it.
 
anyone got a plumber recommendation?

mum-tat (the grove park end of lewisham borough) has a plumbing problem that needs attention...

... lest we forget.
 
They will still be paying the national insurance and pension costs on wages, which could be a fair amount depending on how many staff they have. They might be topping up the furlough to 100% too I guess.
 
new lewisham history blog that's started recently - first saw it today


latest post includes this 1955 photo

frith-central-lewisham-1955.jpg


plane must have been about directly over lewisham railway station - this is similar sort of perspective on google earth - st stephen's church and the row of houses leading off bottom left of the photo are still there and the most obvious bits to give perspective.

(also shows how bloody big a gap was left by the V1 that landed on marks + spencers in 1944)
 
anyone know any tame gardeners who do the lewisham patch (the lee / grove park end)?

i think mum-tat is reaching the point of accepting that her garden is a bit beyond her, and think it's beyond me at the moment...
 
Alex Yee, who has just won silver in the Triathlon, is from Brockley. Transpontine has tweeted that he's seen him running around Hilly Fields.
 
came up in something on tweeter

Ewe-and-Lamb-1890-Lewisham.jpg


the 'lion and lamb' pub, lewisham high street

photo dates from the 1890s, before the clock tower (built to mark queen victoria's 1897 jubilee)

similar sort of angle now - Google Maps

Hi everyone, looking for Lewisham residents to complete a short survey about their environmental habits: <ed: nope!>

All respondents will receive a guide on how to be more environmentally friendly and what they can specifically do in the Lewisham borough.

Many thanks!

hmmmm...ive done the survey, had to give postcode and email...was told Id get some kind of eco-report, not got anything....
turns out this survey is from Property Detective <so its data mining for profit. nothing to do with environment.

Great news, had been closed for what, 4 years? Maybe longer
A miracle it isn't flats
It's a big pub though, hard to make it work. Antic failed.

I think there are flats upstairs though.
Hopefully someone will reopen Suttons Radio sooner rather than later too.

yes there are flats above and they are part of the buy out - rental income is going to be part of how to make the venue profitable
these new owners are committed to making this a music pub, but I cant see how thats going to work with the flats above

yeah Suttons didnt last long, barely opened before it closed, i never got to go in
