Hello Everyone,


We are starting a campaign to save the last remaining purpose-built Cinema/Theatre left in Camberwell (The Gala Bingo Hall) and preserve it as a secular Arts/Cultural Venue and unique Community Hub. This is one of the last Grade II listed cinemas/theatres left in Southwark.


It has been sold by GalaCoral group in private to an Evangelical Christian Church - with no wider local community consultation whatsoever. A total neglect of their "commitment" to Corporate Responsibility has been excercised here. This remember is an organization which has numerous betting shop outlets in the local area and throughout Southwark.


Many of our venues have been demolished over the past 25 years. 3 in Camberwell,East Dulwich, Elephant & Peckham Odeon's have all been lost forever. Visit our Facebook Page and webpage below for more details.


I hope you will all support this embryonic campaign and see where it can take us! If you are interested then spread the word! A poster can be printed from the website and displayed in the windows of all the local homes,shops,colleges and businesses in Camberwell and environs.

check out The Words Inbetween its great . I seem to be listening to alot of stuff from this era lately Wizz Jones , Bert Jansch , Nick Drake , early John Martyn etc .

I love the incredible string band.


Anyhoo, am trying* Field Music's eponymous album. Double album full of good guitar pop. Has a sort osmotic seventies feel without actually being retro at all, which is quite an achievement if you ask me. There are hints of later Beatles, Television, Supertramp, even early 70s Floyd without the influences dominating at all.

It's also pretty good.


*I'm not going to the pub much these days. CD buying is my one luxury, especially as you can listen to them with your hands full. Despite my optimism, xbox controllers are proving pretty tough to use with baby in arms :(

    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.
