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!

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

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
