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.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
