It started about 9.15am with clouds of black acrid smoke to the extent from further up the hill the whole area was engulfed in a black smoke and for a number of minutes I couldn't even see the junction or houses at the bottom of Canonbie. The wind was blowing the smoke up Forest Hill Road and Canonbie. There were two distinct explosions and it was pretty damn scary as the clouds went black. Almost resembling the aftermath of a large amount of aero fuel burning (it was in fact due to the diesel fuel erupting, exploding and burning). For those opposite it, and in the first few houses in Canonbie it must have been even more scary. Is the worst fire I've seen and not something I'd ever like to see again.

And increases pollution.

Can someone explain why the newly erected traffic signs turning from Forest Hill road into anonbie road say the speed limit is 30mph when the area is supossed to be 20mph?

Council office to implement traffic calming measures and signage.

What a total waste of ?1.25M of TAX PAYERS money. In a time when councils are struggling to make savings and balance the books the council can waste this amount of money, truly unbelievable and sheer incompetence. Councillors you should ALL hang your heads in SHAME and resign!!!!!

Used to be Mothercare, such a shame they closed.

There is a burst water main this morning at the very top of Canonbie road SE23, Water has cascaded down the hill across the road and frozen right down to Netherby road and Westwood park, Canonbie road and Netherby roads are impassable due to the sheet ice. - Please be extra vigilant if using these roads.

Yep, money would have been much better spent repairing the roads properly and not just having a bit of tarmac chucked in a pot hole and finished off with the back of a spade, a favoured Conways method of road repair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The roads from above Woodvale (Canonbie, Netherby, Langton Rise) have all been had 20mph speed limit signs installed although the signs are still covered up

And in Forest Hill as well, but then it was in front of Pedder!!!! http://www.se23.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=11045

I thought the cemetery was owned and run by the council so they manage the facility, so is it not there wood and not ours, we just use it? People still want to bury their relatives and as much as people like walking through the wood, with diminishing burial space and to prevent other recreational grounds being used, would it not make sense to re-use the existing burial grounds in London? Earlier this week on Inside out on BBC1 they showed an example in North London were they have a scheme whereby old graves are reused. Once the council has gone through a lengthy process of finding the owner, they then if in agreement can reclaim the grave, re-inturn any remains, clean and turn the monument so the grave can be reused. Surely that is a sensible way to proceed and make use of old graves?

Have pm'd you

Any of the hills in East Dulwich or this side of Forest Hill should provide a good viewing

Wondering if anyone else is with Virgin Media and has a letter saying that anyone on their non-cable broadband or home phone (Virgin Media National) will be switched to TalkTalk, as Virgin will be concentrating on their fibre optic cable network. What are people's experiences of TalkTalk, how stable is their broadband service?

Don't you mean Camberwell Old Cemetery?

There's a newish dry cleaners at the top end of Forest Hill Road by Camberwell Old Cemetery parade of shops.

As is the laundrette on Forest Hill road early in 2015

IMO I think we should welcome them to ED, they have seen an opportunity, re-opened a closed premise and have created local jobs for local people, surely a good thing.

Evans Cycles

Zywiec, Budejovivcy Budvar or Hoegaarden Lagers, all taste great nice and cold.

Would be a real shame to see it close, being it is convenient for those this side of Lordship Lane.
