Sydenham Town Forum

Im not necessarily saying that i think the greyhound should be used and im not agaisnt the idea of the dragon, i see what you're saying about the greyhound and the connection with the pub/business but it wouldnt be much of an advert for a closed pub! As you know im not a fan of hounds myself! i am j...

I think that the greyhounds were made from metal actually? not stone

I remember sitting on one when i was small.

still cant find a picture of them?

"I can't think of a strong image of a greyhound that exists. I seem to remember something about stone greyhounds standing outside the greyhound pub but because they are more upright I don't think the shape of those would be so good for a logo. I can't think of any other existing images of an ac...

It does not spring to mind when i think of sydenham and to be honest id never heard of it until now and like rebel i have lived in sydenham all of my l...

I posted about this building some months back, it belongs to lewisham council and was once a halfway house [or something along those lines], i expect they are letting run into disrepair then they can sell off it and the land it sits on for a princely sum.

Ive been on buses before when they've terminated before the place they were meant to, its done so they can 'catch up' with the timetable...never mind providing a service to the paying customers on board you just have to get off and find your own way. This is done under instruction from the people in...

Hi

You will find the answer to your questions in this section of the forum and also the other sections where people tend to moan about what they dislike and how its all changed.

Lots of history of buildings in this part with photos too.

Aw come on!

Are they not there to tend/maintain the grounds?

They are not PCSO's

Crittal windows are a b*gger to live with though!

"Related issue: At the meeting on Thursday, a point was raised about commercial waste bags being put on the High Street and (if I recall correctly) it was said that there were plans for it to be put out between 5pm and 7pm. *Confused* Since, being the rush hour, it'll be when many peeps will be...

I remember that house when it was inhabited, it used to have a wagon wheel [not the biscuit bar!] fixed on the side or front of it.

It was painted white then, i remember the lady that lived there, its been a long while since its had anyone living there i think?
