Sydenham Town Forum

And there is a Legge Street off Lewisham High Street, opposite St. Mary's Church.

I was not at the meeting. Regarding the cost of other pools. The £17m at Downham seems high for just the pool. The project also included a library, sport & community facilities and a medical centre. I'm sure the council would have a breakdown of costs. The cost of Wavelengths is interesting as t...

If what you say is correct then your vote will not count.

If the papers have had words or number added throughout the day then all the votes made at that location may be regarded as spoiled and discarded.

The current official situation is that the pools will be demolished as will Louise House also the open space will be used. To meet the cost of the new pool it is proposed to sell some land for residential use. At the moment a feasibility study is taking place and once completed there will be consult...

There appear to be dogs being bought and 'trained' to hang for ages from tree branches by their teeth. The owners tend to be in their teens and there may 2-3 of these dogs in a group of teenagers. Are the dogs for protection or serve another purpose? Yesterday I saw a teenager with a purposely desig...

I don't recall ever going into the shop, seemed quaintly old fashioned even in those times.

Does anyone remember a toy/model shop in Church Road that had a model railway as part of its window display? On the outside of the shop there was a slot for putting money in and you could watch the trains go round. I think it was towards the roundabout opposite one of the two cinemas. There was also...

Thankyou for that, in the pictures I was looking at I'm sure the statues where not dark in colour...off to check.


Have checked the pictures they are from the 1980's and the statue is a light grey.

In some photographs of the *1980's there were two sphinxs each side of the stairs leading from one level to another. Were they removed if so does anyone know where to?

*Edited, had put the wrong decade.

It depends on the content of the private messages and the purpose of making them public.

But wouldn't the window need to be open, unless he'd been eating solid foods?

Maybe it could be suggested they are passed onto the National Archives?

Because they were no longer needed about 2 years ago our solicitor sent us all the documents relating to our house.

Wasn't the original plan to retain one of the old towers to act as a breaker between the new town hall and the Broadway Theatre? Planners often refer to the building line but the Civic Suite juts out about 10ft thus obscuring The Broadway Theatre. Other buildings between Catford & St. Mary's tha...

I would STRONGLY advise contacting Lewisham and Bexley trading standards, check Companies House for any court judgements and possibly Bromley Small Claims Court, to confirm the company is reptuable. Talking about companies in general not specifically the one asked about. I find it astounding compani...

The Mercury which is running a campaign to "Save Our A&E" reports on its front page that hundreds of people are due to protest this Saturday 29th March against cuts. Protesters will march from Blackheath to Ladywell Fields at the rear of Lewisham Hospital. The Mayor of Lewisham is expe...

Re The Laban Centre 70% was funded by The Arts Council Lottery Fund and the rest by The LDA, and others including Lewisham & Greenwich Councils. I think the PCT may have funded most of the Children's Centre plus a couple of million from Lewisham council. At the consultation the matter of Louise ...

This is the British Pathe film. The film isn't dated so it could be pre 1920's.From newspaper clippings I know the family performed there in 1924/25.

In addition here is another newspaper report detailing the march and campaign against possible closure.

It was a performance inside and there seems to be circus ring in the background.

I think I have found film of a relative performing at the Crystal Palace in the 1920's. Are there printed programmes of that era so I can check when they may have appeared there, possibly as early as 1904.
