Does anyone know what's happening with the development of this church? Scaffolding gone up in the last few days after many months of no action. Anyone talked to the builders or agents about timescales. Can't wait to see what they do with it...the falling down walls and big yellow boards have been an eyesore for too long.

Repeated message from August 2007...


"I?m the third generation of a family who has attended Honor Oak Baptist Church (corner of Forest Hill and Mundania Road) since the 1930s so have a little inside information! The church is being divided vertically in half so at one end there?ll be an area of worship (upstairs), a hall and kitchen (downstairs) and then apartments built at the other end.


The church (as in the congregation) still meets in the hall on Sundays at 11am and 7pm. The hall is also used during the week for various meetings. If you?re interested in knowing more about the church please stop by. The members and congregation of HOBC are certainly glad about the new development and looking forward to having a building which no longer leaks, costs a fortune to heat and has more than one WC!"


For more information on the development see... Manhattan Loft Corporation website. Completion date... unknown but very pleased to see the scaffolding finally going up! The pigeons may soon have to vacate the biggest bird house in SE22!

construction is now blazing forward and the development of the 10 flats and new worship space is forecast to be complete late summer 2010. as of mid-sept, the new drainage is complete, roof/guttering is being stripped/repaired, scaffolding and monarflex is up, concrete ground floor should be down in the next few weeks.

Hi there, i am thinking of buying an apartment in the Honor Oak Church development and was wondering if you would like to give me an honest appraisal of the area and whether you think it would be a good place to live. I would appreciate you reply so much. Best regards and thanks, Lauren.

I am newly registered on this site. I looked for a photo of the Honor Oak Baptist Church only to find that it is surrounded by yellow boards. I understand that part of the building is going to be apartments.


I was baptised at this church in 1943 and wanted a photo of the building, can anyone tell me if there is a photo of the church before the boarding was put around it.


Regards


Anne

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
