Celebrating 1 year of telling #PoplarHarca about rainwater flowing into the electrical riser of a high rise building!
Poplar Harca truly have the confidence to ignore the haters and believe that electricity and water mix just fine.
Inspirational!

A little insight into how archeology all ends up in layers.
Only about 12 years ago the tarmac surface under the abandoned carpark turned community garden was exposed.
Now there’s inches of soil on it.

And we moved an area of soil off the tarmac - the garden used to be a car park - to form a patio area.
We planted seeds for bee and butterfly attracting flowers on the new beds.

We cycled up to Hackney Wick and bought a couple of tomato plants, some herbs, perpetual spinach and rainbow chard.

Floating bus stops - between a bike lane and the road - aren't inherently dangerous, but the design of the ones we've got in London makes them so.
People step out without looking from behind the big advert panel, and you've almost no time to avoid a collision.
The back bit should be fenced off.

Today at the community garden I replaced these plastic tile things with a little brick path.

I don’t know what these fruits will be. The bush was flowering the other week. They look like wee green olives at this stage. Presumably plums, but what kind?

Normally with a dead hedge you stick the twigs between stakes stuck in the ground, but our soil is only 3” deep over the tarmac, so they’re gathered between V-shaped branches.

At the community garden today.
Before: two heaps of twigs.
After: a dead hedge. Apparently insects enjoy them.
Planted some seeds of pro-bee flowers too.

Bit of a setback at Phoenix Green Community Garden. The soil outside the raised beds is only 4” deep, with tarmac below across the whole site.
The bare root fruit trees we’d bought are in pots for now while we decide what to do.

It’s sort of like a proto-Cumbernauld.

The tower block pictured was I think an LCC type, with a rather awkward plan, with big columns in the living rooms.

In the 1960s, in the vast scale of housebuilding, architects lost power to contractor-led models like system building, and off-the-peg tower blocks from Wates and Wimpey.
Which architects were blamed for the failings of, even though they'd been against them at the time.

Love how this infrared heat lamp looks like some 1960s Czech glassware.
Has anyone tried using them for heating people, as an alternative to infrared panels but with a cheery glow?
If they work for lizards and canteens they presumably work on people just as well?

The loss in council housebuilding was a huge loss in supply, but without Planning restricting quantity (byelaws dealt with housing quality) the market could build more homes even than in the post-war housing boom.
