Some lost Morrissey song titles in there too:
- Ox in a teacup
- Fatty Bodies
- Saline Matters

Quite. We were told at a station users group meeting that they couldn't open it up because it would need ticket gates. Well duh! Put ticket gates in then, and close it off when it's quiet and uneconomic to man it. Such a glaring omission not having an entrance on that side.

Interesting point, one I'd never thought of. I think fair to say Westminster would have been destroyed, but it was much smaller than London & overcrowding that spread 1666 fire wasn't present in-between. Question is whether the explosion causes a separate fire in London. Doesn't seem implausible.

In the 1930s and 40s, Neville was very active in local British Legion branches - one even named their meeting room after him.

After a stint in the army pre-WW1, Fred Neville was called up in 1914 and earned the DCM for bravery in the 1st battle of Ypres. Four years later he was awarded the Military Medal for bravery at Cambrai.

Fred Neville started out organising and playing in football, cricket and other sporting associations. By 1904, he was said to have "done much to popularise football in Lewisham”, and in the 1920s returned to both football and cricket - setting up the Lewisham Cricket Challenge Cup.

Many of the buses that stop at B at the Station also stop at stop W at Lewisham Centre of course. The Station stop seems to be a bit more popular on each service - as here for the 199:

All that remains today is the Mulberry tree that stood in the garden at the Chestnuts, and now stands at the corner of Elmira Street and Pine Tree Way:

Alice Jarman was also a teacher at Lewisham Bridge, in the girls' school based in the current building.
After her death in the 1930s, the English family and the Broadribb/Penticost family lived at the Chestnuts.
They left in the 1960s as the house and the area made way for the Sundermead estate.

William Pope ran the boys' primary school at Lewisham Bridge (now Prendergast Vale) for 30 years. He was an impressive headmaster and a vigorous campaigner as head of both local teachers' unions and the National Union of Teachers.

Samuel Jerrard came next. He transformed the western side of Lewisham village with the construction of ever larger and more impressive housing from Loampit Vale down to Ladywell. He was an important late C19th figure in Lewisham and his work is central to the Ladywell conservation area.
