I'd like to know what's happening to 'Golden City' at the corner of Landcroft and Whateley Rds. Such a sad sight, almost derelict....

[HonaloochieB]

It's there for all in the SE22 postal district as a reminder of our daily decrepitude and of course mortality.

Life, 'taint all Penguin shirts and gelato you know.

Lack of coppers nipping out the back for a quick take-away mid interrogation.

Waaay back in the 60's - it was the best fish and chip shop for miles around.

The other interesting empty shop is the old printers on Forest Hill Road. Although there are signs of life in the upstairs property. It's like a little foolscap time capsule.

They found it difficult to get up the stairs carrying both their takeaway and the kilos of skag they were selling as a profitable sideline

Anyone noticed the sparkly chandeliers in the "new" shop on the corner of Dunstans and Forest Hill Road?

[edcam]

There isn't a corner of Dog Kennel Hill and Champion Grove - you mean Grove Lane? It's residential now isn't it?

I adore abandoned buildings/cemeteries/victorian mental institution et al :) thanks for sharing fl0wer. If some forumites keep up the good work of scaring off chains and other businesses from setting up home around here we may have a whole host of abandoned shops to take photographs of, very exciting times ahead. Keep up the good work folks, soon enough we will look like every other failing high street up and down the land, camera at the ready!

It's going to be a fairly upmarket (i.e pricey) hairdressers.

Unfortuantely I think the owner had a stroke at some point. I helped an elderly Chinese man with his shopping to the front door a few months back.
