Reclaimed timber/social project - brilliant place near Chislehurst

Hello, I know this isn't an ED business, but I was looking for a place that sold reclaimed wood and discovered this fantastic place run by the Shaw Trust, which supports disabled or disadvantaged people back to work, or with training, and thought it could do with a bit of a plug, and I don't think there's anything like it in our neck of the woods. The people were so friendly, and we saw the workshop where they make thing snd develop new skills, it was like being in the countryside (it practically is) and there's a small ruin to look at too! (The moated remains of Elizabeth I's spymaster's house - Francis Walsingham). The timber was cheaper than it would be from somewhere like B&Q - we got old scaff planks - and i thought people might be interested in knowing about this for garden projects etc etc. It's the Bromley Wood Recycling Project and they could do with more customers!!! Phone/e-mail them before you go to check their stock.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
