I would like to recommend Alex of Crown Joinery, www.crown-joinery.co.uk/ who has just produced the finest example of joinery .We wanted to replace our old front door & frame with an exact copy of the original Victorian style.

We found the whole experience dealing with Alex a pleasure, from his initial visit to the final fitting of our new door. Alex is a true artisan and takes real pride in what he does. He is a thoroughly nice bloke and cares for his work and costumers.

He explained how he selects the timber, which he leaves in the workshop for a couple of weeks to make sure it stays true. This is just one example of the level of attention to detail.

The door is then assembled and checked, resulting in a perfect result. An unexpected surprise was that he fits draught proofing for a snug fit between the door and frame.

We have noticed a marked difference in how much warmer our hallway is, definitely less noticeable after the new double glaze installed in the door and fanlight.

I will describe the new front door as beautiful,Spray painted and fitted with new door furniture and Banham locks, that?s exactly what it is.

Thank you Alex!

  They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.

  From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s. Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two. In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats. There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post. Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded. One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.

  I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
