The ideal-homes website has disappeared - but I've got the photo and I'm going to put it on flickr - with or without permission.

My ancesters (the Roberts family) lived at 2 Heber Road from 1900 to 1912. They must have gone to the school and (later) the pub as well.

I went to look at a flat there when we first moved into the area a few years back. It was one of the flats at the front and in the bedroom was the cellar door in the floor, leading down to where the beer was kept. The cellar door was in the wardrobe. It freaked me out a little. All old places especially pubs have their ghosts. I didn't fancy laying awake of a night hearing things moving about in the cellar! And it had alot of the old pub furniture still down there with God knows what else lurking in the cornor. Interesting. It was a bit of a turn off that the girl showing the property refused to take us down to the cellar. She insisted on waiting upstairs....

Hi

I have just found this site and it was great to find the photo of The Heber Arms the pub that i had for eight years. I am sure there are many locals that can remember many a good night they had spent in The Heber Arms From 1981-1989. Are you still out there?

Hello


Not sure if I'm allowed to revive old posts?... first post on this forum :o)


I've been off work sick for a few days and have been reading lots of posts on here and, feeling a bit better today, went for a walk to find The Heber Arms. I've attached a picture of it as it stands today.


I'm getting quite obsessive about places that used to be pubs around SE22, since almost everywhere I look around the backstreets there seems to be good candidates for old pubs or shops.


Andy

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
