Sydenham Town Forum

Was that near Dome Hill Park - the map shows the area as "the wood"? The area behind what used to be Upper Sydenham station on Wells Park Road towards Vigilant Close is very quiet and deserted. Sydenham Hill Wood is also interesting - strange to walk through what used to be the back garde...

The reason why people get the hump is probably because most of us don't have a union to back us up, so if we want to make a stand, we're normally on our own. So, your main reason is jealousy? You begrudge other people something that should be a basic right to people? If you are so desperate for uni...

The reason why people get the hump is probably because most of us don't have a union to back us up, so if we want to make a stand, we're normally on our own. Also, I think most people reckon train drivers and, by extension, other rail workers, earn a fair screw, by comparison to the rest of us; that...

Recommendations please on where to go, brands, and what to pay for either: 1. Separately, an amp, CD player and DAB radio for use with existing turntable and speakers, with possibility of adding more bits of kit (iPod etc); or 2. an entire new system. Sound quality is not a big issue - I kind of li...

oh, for goodness sake, there is no such thing as a "no drinking zone" as I've pointed out on many occasions. How about we penalise people when they commit crimes (such as when they abused Scott's family) rather than pre-empt people's criminality... Being a sad wino is not, and should not ...

Whats happening with roads being taped off.Tonight around 6.30 Kirkdale taped off in Jews Walk area 176 diverted up Kirkdale along Sydenham Hill and down Crystal Palace Park Road? Reports suggest bus Vs biker (not sure if it was a cycle or motorcycle) with the biker coming off worse, in the worst p...

Just so you don't think Juwlz was your only listener I too enjoyed it, particularly the ska session and someone asking "which button do I press?". I must ask, are Juwlz and me your target audience? And is it possible to stream details of the music playing? I had no idea you were a Roots r...

I have never heard so many sirens on Sydenham road - the heat must have made the mad men come out ! can see the scene from my living room - still cordoned off !! at least the dont do it on a weekday morning when people are going to work - but I wish they did not do it at all - what wrong with these...

Well, all the testing has been done, everything appears to be working and we've now done all we can to make sure everything happens as it should; if we've missed anything, it's too late now! Hopefully, everyone involved will be taking a day off tomorrow, because it's the last one we get for a fortni...

Rebelmc wrote: I have an issue with the fact that (it seemed clear to me) the project was being supported by people with a hidden agenda... Could you clarify this please, Rebelmc? What do you think the 'hidden agenda' was? I published my thoughts earlier in this thread but, just for you, I will exp...

Like I said on another related thread. We need to let others at the council etc know that we think this is a waste of money...to try and stop it. It's probably too late for that now, votes have been cast, decisions have been made; the only hope there is of this project not progressing, is that it d...

One wonders if the people behind this proposition ever did any market research, in order to ascertain whether, or not, the public thought it was a good idea in the first place; I would suggest they didn't, because the general consensus on this forum seems to be, not many people like it, it's a colos...

Can anyone, anywhere answer 3 simple questions? Will the nabourhood centre be done up BEFORE any mosaic is applied, so: 1. It will be cleaned and painted. 2. The canopy over the door on the left will be fixed. 3. The blinds/net curtains in the window will be replaced. Here are two more difficult qu...

Anyone willing to post an image of the proposed mosaic? Are they definitely going to paint the nabourhood centre etc first? Surely? The 'proposed' images consisted of a selection of fairly random drawings, in the form of a timeline taking us from the Crystal Palace, through to the Livesey Memorial ...

Did it go ahead?

Yes it did Lee, in fact it was just about to descend into complete farce as you were trying to find it.

Hello there, I'm looking at moving house and my morning journey will involve traveling the length of Sydenham Hill (towards the Horniman) at about 8.30 - 8.45am. I tried a test run this morning and the traffic was terrible, a reall snail trail. However, as there are some kind of works going on, I d...

I'm back!..... Very interested to know what happened to the piano from our old House. By the way, who lives there now? We moved into the house in 1959 from Cheshire and lived there until 1967. I remember my 15th birthday party in the ballroom. We were about 300. Music courtesy of my former school p...

It''s not so much the attitude to cyclists that gets me, it's the attitude to other people in general. For example, someone threw a lit cigarette butt onto my drive on Monday, just as I arrived home. I said, "I'll pick that up for you" and was swiftly told to f*** off. I think you're righ...

I know it is not beaver's, but there is a cub group that meets at St Stephens next to Sydenham Hill station on Thursdays and a Scout Group that meets at The Fort (scout center) at the top of Grange Lane on Thursdays. Both at 1830hrs. The fort is great though because it is outside space and you can ...

Eagle > It's by the petrol station (kinda recessed so you don't really see it easily). Kinda in the back of the building where the LA Fittness Gym is Do you know if it backs onto Spring Hill? I noticed when walking back from the station the other day that several large doors/windows were newly boar...
