Air ambulance landed on lordship lane estate at around 2.30pm. As it physically landed in the middle of the estate I don't think this is the cause of road closure at plough.. It has now gone, as of 4pm. Walked over to the shop and was out on the estate, traffic was still moving up lordship lane both ways throughout incident. Is it open again now?

On another thread here somebody has posted that two people died and two were seriously injured in an accident on Lordship Lane today, unfortunately.


I don't know whether that is referring to the same accident, or whether that information is accurate.


Very sad news if so.


ETA: Sorry, post crossed with the one above.

I was walking home this afternoon due to the buses terminating at goose green, passing the accident I was shocked and amazed at people standing looking at the accident and taking photos and videos on their phones. What has the world come to? I commented to a few people 'why are you taking photos' "why not" was there reply.


I hope no one was hurt due to the accident.

im glad it wasnt just me that thought that as well, elephant i had to walk past the same accident as you, with my 13 year old son, we were both shocked at the people just standing around takin pictures and video and laughing, you could just see them poor people in the accident were in a really bad way,and they need medical help,it is so sad the way the world is going, them pictures and videos were probably posted all over the internet last night, i wonder if they new 2 people died from that crash..................... so sad

"What has the world come to"?


People have been gawking at accidents since the dawn of time. The only difference nowadays is that almost everyone has a camera.


Go back even to the 1950s and you had hundreds if not thousands of people gathering outside prisons when a hanging took place.

Yes, agreed.


Unfortunately it's part of human nature.


Some/many people slow down to gawp at accidents on the motorway, if there's anything to see.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
