Did not realise it was still there. No signage ?


Probably waiting for a Sign Writer who can spell Pyrotechnics as opposed to Pyrotechnist's


Opposite the site the Brocks Fireworks Factory off of Nunhead Lane. Brock Street is opposite.

Pyrotechnist's is quite correct; Wheelwright's Arms, a place where a wheelwright drinks, Pyrotechnist's Arms, a place where a pyrotechnist, such as might have worked in the fireworks factory, drinks.

Indeed.


Google is usually Dulwich Fox's friend! It seems to have let him down on this occasion, as a quick google would have shown him that the OP's spelling of the pub name was correct :)


It would even have come up with a picture of the pub, a map and the address :)


The wonders of modern technology, yet again :)

Yes .. I too thought it was The Pyrotechnist's Arms and indeed it is.

But a link to their WebSite also said Pyrotechnics Arms


A very blurred photograph too big to place here (Cannot be bothered to Photoshop and reduce size)

confirms it as Pyrotechnist's Arms.


Apologies for any confusion.


I suspect it will have a name change to forget its history..


The Nunhead Old Stoat and Badger Ale House.. maybe..

I don't think it has a Website.


A site called "Beer in the Evening" has it listed as the Pyrotechnics Arms, and somebody has pointed out in the comments on that site that they have got its name wrong.


Everywhere else that I can see has its correct name.


I doubt very much that its name will be changed after any refurb.


ETA: There are another couple of obscure pub listing sites which have it as the Pyrotechnics Arms. They've probably lazily got their information from the first one, instead of checking it out.

Just for future reference, there are loads of sites where you can resize pics in a zillionth of a second (well, slightly slower).


The one I use is this:

Obviously Photoshop is good for more complex things, but for a simple resizing to lower res in order to post online, there are many quicker and easier options.

    • Use to be a place in Clapham.. second hand
    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses?
