The mod revival back in 1979/80 was always a great time for me. Yeah I had a two tone suit & parker & life was just so good but always wanted a Vespa or Lambretta. Typically something I was going to do never got done & time passed by, glad really co's i tried one a few years back & I was so uncomfortable sat in the prone position with my bricklayers back, think a mobility scooter is more of an option nowadays ;-)) "talking bout my generation"
In September 1981 there was still some residual activity at this large goods depot in South London. It was built as a passenger terminal by the South Eastern Railway to break the stranglehold of the London and Brighton Railway at London Bridge. It didn't last long as a passenger station (though it continued to be used by the Royal Train). It became a major goods depot and there was also an important loco shed there. Its all been redeveloped now.
Bit lost today, our little cat Rio was hit by a car & was killed. Bit empty around the house at the mo, but that's how it goes. Never really got attached to pets but little Rio was something else, will miss the little guy ;-(((. Got some great pics of him so he wont be forgotten. God ! I'm a big daft bricklayer what's got into me !!!
A shot triggered by my memories of my old foreman bricklayer who served in every conflict going who every morning would race in the cabin shouting shouting "On your toes lads" get your tools out !!, he was a real gentleman & probably long gone now, memories ;-))
Peckham's new buses are flooding into service now - a mix of EH class ADL Enviro 40H MMC's for route 363 and MHV class MCV Evolution bodied Volvo B5LH's for route 63. The garage is happily mixing them up and within its first week of service EH67 has worked routes 36, 63 and X68 as well as its proper home, on which it is working today.

This building covered in Scaffolding was The Bricklayers Arms on Settles Street.
At 11pm on September 29 1888, two laborers named John Gardner & J. Best went into this pub & ass they went in they passed Elizabeth Stride with a man described as short with dark mustache & sandy eyelashes. He was wearing a billycock hat, mourning suit & coat.
According to Best ""They had been served in the public house and went out when me and my friends came in. It was raining very fast and they did not appear willing to go out. He was hugging and kissing her, and as he seemed a respectably dressed man, we were rather astonished at the way he was going on at the woman." Stride and her man stood in the doorway for some time hugging and kissing. The workmen tried to get the man to come in for a drink but he refused. They then called to Stride. "That's Leather Apron getting 'round you." The man and Stride moved off towards Commercial Road and Berner Street. "He and the woman went off like a shot soon after eleven."
Stride was found murdered in Dutfield's Yard not far from here at around 12:45 am.

Also went to Casebook.org to refresh my memory on some details.
Had to grab this snap for a bricklayer friend … the French do things a little differently from the looks of this build at L'Holme.

30929 Malvern of Bricklayers Arms passing Factory Junction at Stewarts Lane with a Victoria - Dover relief boat train. 23 August 1958. Photo by R. C. Riley.
This photo, now ten years old was an attempt to record the inexorable encroachment of the city into old Victorian neighbourhoods and the ultimate end of a way of life in favour of higher density living in London. These grand old buildings raised by bricklayers more than a century and half ago are doubtless gone. Standing there instead will be a monument of glass and steel to the 21'st century economy.
It's nothing new, and indeed is happening in every city around the world- faster in some than others. Yet, while progress is rarely a bad thing, should we not perhaps take a little more time to ensure that we aren't throwing out the baby with the bath water.
