109 update
I asked the question to the person who runs this site http://www.trolleybus.net/ and here is the answer.. The Route 109 was the predecessor to London Transport route 227 and was introduced by Thomas Tilling in 1914. It ran from Penge to Chislehurst Queens Head and used single deckers because of the ...

Steve, Terry, thanks for this information. It is nice to see that these workers were remembered and continue to be remembered. The glass lantern slide image I have of the service is taken from an etching by what looks like B Jestor and there is some more writing (probably to do with the slide itself...

Service for the navies who worked on the Crystal Palace.
This service was held in Beckenham on St George's Rectory Field, it was attended by about 200 people.
I do not know the date and I was wondering why such a service was held?
Can anyone throw any light on the subject?

The 109 bus from Penge
Any one know the route this bus would have taken, I believe it was the fore-runner to the 227. The reason I ask is because I have an image of the 109 outside what looks like a pub. At first I thought it may be The Alexandra but it is not. See image here http://www.beckenhamhistory.co.uk/Number109.jpg

If you go here http://www.beckenhamhistory.co.uk/flash ... lery2.html and then look at image 32 you will see the houses through the trees. That is the best I can do for now.

That is a very long story. Bottom line is a member of The Penge Rotary Club has copyright and will not allow use of the DVD because the BBC may want to use the part with Frank and Peggy Spencer one day. He is in his late 90s and is very rich. I informed him that I would delete the bit with Frank and...
