I know this is over a year old, but the Sweeney was firmed in ED, I remember when i was a kid coming home from Heber school, they were filming at the old petrol station at the top of Henslowe road.


also filmed in Ed, was Dempsey and makepeace, that was filmed in the old hairdressers on upload road, just along from family stores [where are you bir stupid Ilkay!! lol]


the film 'Mona Lisa' on Darrel road, my mum and sister [both passed away now] are in the background, when bob hoskins, is hitting the door with the dustbin.


Stanley Baxter outside the church at the bottom of henslowe road


Paul Nicol's [cant remember the show] same location as Dempsey and makepeace


seen lots of celebs, but I just ignore them! LOL


I don't live in ED anymore moved away in 2004, going backup in two weeks time, looking forward to it, from reading this forum the place has changed.


All the best.

Yes, it is and his brother Jerome lives around here too. It was, also, nice to see another E.D., actor in The Bill, last week, Mr Tim Woodward.

    • Andy is an absolute star. Have used him for years and he’s become a hugely trusted and valued friend as well as handyman. Always willing to go the extra mile and doesn’t cut corners, but great on pricing. Can’t recommend enough.
    • Surely you are still covered under these circumstances even if you don't have the physical licence? I can't believe you would be prevented from driving? That would be a ridiculous system. I don't recall any delays   when mine was renewed. Why would their medical department be involved if you have no medical issues? Could someone have made some admin mistake somewhere along the line?
    • Does anyone have the same problem.  I am 79 and have sent my licence renewal form to the DVLA on the 21st October 20 which they have received. I have just received a letter from them them dated 22 December 2025 today saying my licence is with their Drivers Medal Department and will be processed as soon as possible. This follows my telephone call to them after three weeks  from the October date as I had not received my licence back as per their time frame. I also followed this up mid December after finally getting through but did not get any confirmation as to what the situation was. Is this normal practice? On the 7 January 2026 I will be unable to drive as my licence has not been sent back. I have no medical issues and meet all the requirements with no problem as per previous renewals in fact nothing has changed health wise.Their the letter states if they need any more details from me, they will contact me directly. Why has it taken 2 and a half months get get this far? Is this some sort of ploy to get older drivers to finally give up their driving by making life difficult as possible.  Has anyone else experienced this. Read Medical not Medal.
    • You're being a little disingenuous here. It is simply not true that "the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum" because: -> the area the development is in isn't 2/3 storeys maximum today - as evidenced by the school on the lot adjoining the development to the south, as well as the similarly-sized buildings to the north and east.  -> the SPG doesn't preclude this type of development anyway. This "genie in a bottle" stuff is desperate barrel-scraping. Now you're raising the spectre of a 9 storey building on the Gibbs & Dandy site (the chance would be a fine thing) but also arguing Southwark is too slow to approve things and opposed to development more than 2-3 storeys!
