Hello, Local Friend Chinese take away in lower Sydenham is now a building supplies shop and I have spied some refurbishment taking place inside what was once called Premier Foods (I think) on the corner of Hazel Grove and Sydenham Road.

Hello, Local Friend Chinese take away in lower Sydenham is now a building supplies shop and I have spied some refurbishment taking place inside what was once called Premier Foods (I think) on the corner of Hazel Grove and Sydenham Road.

I dont think the old Local friend is a building supplies shop, the sign outside is for the builders that are re-developing the property and building a new extension. Spoke to them the other day and they don't know what it is going to be yet as it is yet to be leased/made fit for purpose.

Ah I see. Thank you for clarifying that. Hopefully it'll lift that end a little bit. I think sydenham has so much potential and I really hope to see some positive changes

I think we all do!

I noticed another shop on the High Street looks like it has been let. Painted yellow on the outside not far from Co-op - any ideas?

Looks like Gabisco is shutting, although I don't know how they survived so long as it hardly seemed to be open and had virtually no stock!

Gosh Lee, I didn't realise there are so many empty shops.

I walked past Carzone yesterday.There are signs on the window saying ( closing down all stock must go). Shame as I always found the chaps who ran it very helpfull.

[Annie]

What a shame,to be honest it was only recently I realised it was still there.

[parklife]

Thats a shame

But, good location for Sushi Bar.Close to other restuarants and good footfall

Bad news about Carzone. They were very helpful and offered good value. The mechanic at the rear provided a useful service as well.

[leenewham]

It would be perfect. And it could be beautiful.

MD Carpets on the High St is closing down - due to retirement (according to sign on the window)

Carzone I believe replaced The Good Olde Record Forum . The highlight of the high street in the 60's . I think better if car shops on side roads , like Volkspares , not good addition to posh high street.

As for carpet shop. Sad , surely need for a carpet shop in SE 26. Perhaps new owner will PILE in.

Maybe theres an underlaying problem?

FYI, the Home Collection shop is now closing down.

Their stock was incredibly expensive and not very attractive so not a surprise. I've found great vintage stuff at Sydenham Beds - G Plan chests of drawers and the like for a fraction of the price you'd pay elsewhere.

I heard the Michael Detmar of MD Furnishers - 64 Sydenham Road - is about to retire

Do keep up Tim!

Will be a loss. Nowhere to buy a rug now after the sad loss of Ken Lloyd last year.
Michael has been trading from there since before I got to Syndeham 16 years ago.
