Are the dogs for protection or serve another purpose? Yesterday I saw a teenager with a purposely desig...

Model Railway, Church Road

The Sphinxs in Crystal Palace Park
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?

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...

Performers at the Crystal Palace in the 1920's
