If Louisa and DF had their way, every shop front down Lordship Lane would look like that.


I agree though, just one shop front like that doesn't bother me. Whoever lives there has to put up with the stench of dead animal from the one side and dry cleaning chemicals from the other, so I'd be inclined to cut them some slack!


But then again, who actually knows why the building is like that? - it could be the old lady, or some grasping relative, or something completely different.

Perhaps you could tell us more, Ms Blueberry?

Why did you find it necessary to include your little snide comment..?


It was totally unnecessary and uncalled for.


I respect the area I have lived in for the majority of my life..


Then you go on to add that the state of the place doesn't bother you..

Ms Blueberry's original post was rather over-the-top, but nevertheless I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people to prevent their properties falling into complete decay.


"not derelict"? Well it bloody looks it, and has done for at least 15 years. If I lived nearby it would bother me. And if I was the owner/tenant/landlord/greedyrelative/etc, I would be embarrassed.


If it really is a penniless little old lady living there, then why not ask for some volunteers to tidy it up?

Agree with Jeremy.


Also, I do love the way that people create a narrative to fit their position. One minute it's a poor defenseless old lady fighting against a tide of vicious gentrifiers, the next it's undisclosed dark forces of greed and corruption. Does anyone actually know the true situation?

Don't think I have used the term blow-in. Might of slipped the term in somewhere incidently.

Had never heard the term until seeing it on here.


So don't know if it's a blow-in but Lush Designs sells things that are nice and useful...

... and not taking over something that was already there. Its designs are unique.


Where else on L.L. could I buy a Foxy mug and Tea Towels. ?


Foxy

It would be wrong to assume anyone is penniless in this situation.


It may also be wrong to assume the owner is aware of the state of the shop. I am giving the owner the benefit of the doubt and will assume that if she saw the place now, she would be mortified.


Greed of others is behind the decay, and decay spreads easily. We are all responsible for the community we live in. Good community fights the rot.

I don't know what James Barber posted (as it appears to have been removed), but assuming it was the name of the registered owner of the land then I think you should lay off him, because that would not be confidential information - it is in the public domain, available to all on any search at the Land Registry. I could find out online in 30 seconds who the registered proprietor is, provided the land is registered.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
