Jah Lush Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Where the new flats are next to the school. I remember going there as a kid in the sixties, in the early 70s it was turned over to a religious sect and called the Palace of Peace. The so-called guru turned out to be a charlatan (No surprise there), spending money on women and Rolls Royces etc etc, after that it was offices for a while before being demolished at an estimated guess about 8 to ten years ago.

bawdy-nan Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 When they were demolishing it, if you sat on teh top deck of a bus going past you could see inside and the keleton of the cinema - very sad ... I reckon a cinema woud do pretty well round here ... (I know there's Peckham)and I was there ony the night before last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMacGabhann Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I think the pent-up demand for a cinema is not quite as feverish as it was for a butchers before William Rose arrived, but it might not be far off. But the only buildings/sites I would have thought suitable candidates have been put to other uses (the gym near Thomas More Hall and Foxton's being the sites I had in mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I think the flats may be the ones at the junction with Tintagel Crescent. I think the flats are maybe for hospital workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Sean - the police station (or part of the plot)? Very unlikely to happen though, building 10 flats would be much lower risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Palaeologus Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I had a business meeting there many years ago when I was managing a business development grant. They imported, personalised and distributed watches, etc. Quite nice having a meeting 5 minutes walk from home, rather than a thousand miles away for a change.

I saw the said 'Guru' a couple of weeks ago in the NEC in Birmingham and one thing he happened to mention were the stories about all his cars which existed years ago i.e the 70'sHe went on to say that if he did have that number of cars he was supposed to have he wouldn't have chosen Rolls!As for the women, when he went to the Palace of Peace he would have been a teenager. He is now nearly 50. In the interests of honesty I don't believe he can be accused of being a charlatan either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asset Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 now now boys, chill out. everyone's entitled to their opinions, being called gullible is not exactly an insult.Personally think the Divine Light lot a load of twaddle. Anyone that keeps their so called "knowledge" a secret until they deem you are "ready", well - not very enlightened is it? Jesus handed his out to any one that would listen, as did Mohammed and Buddah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
