Taller than than the transmitter?

#Sydenham #se26 #crystalpalace
Photograph looking up Westwood Hill showing yellow crane apparently towering over the transmitter at the top. The crane is located in the Sydenham High School new building site. The image also shows the 4-way temporary traffic lights which may be connected with roadworks associated with the new building.

A view of Crystal Palace in Sydenham showing the barrel vaulted main gallery. Extensively redesigned from the original temporary Hyde Park building. Which, in part explains why it took two years for the reconstruction.

From […]

Latest update from Thameswater includes a map of affected areas. Those to the left (near where the burst occurred) have been restored.

Thameswater are saying bottle water stations will be organised so no early restoration likely.
Map shows two affected areas. The restored area is from Kingswood to Streatham Common including a large part of West Norwood. The still affected area with no water is in a line stretching from the Thicket Road area of Penge, west of the railway through Laweie Park, Dartmouth Road area to Honor Oak

Another smash in Lawrie Park Road as a car apparently loses control and smashes into a parked car lifting it onto the pavement. Quite a smash for a 20 mph zone.

People shocked but hopefully not hurt. This is […]
