Used to live at lucey way 144

It looks so different. I lived in Galleywall Rd and started as a barrow boy 1985. 1 year later, myself and my Brother-in-law and my sister had a stall. We did toys, sportswear and then toiletries. Our pitch was next to the fish stall. Maurine, I think was her name. Jim and Eileen had ladies fashion. Tony 'long pitch' as he had 2/3 pitches together. Tracy cards. With the developments of Surrey Quays and supermarkets locally trade went down a fair bit. We went from 7 days a week in the Blue to 3 or 4 as we did Brick Lane car boot and East Lane. We even did Tower Bridge Road. I moved away in 1990 and have only been back 4/5 times over 34 years. My memories as a kid going into all the pubs, The Manor Tavern, The Blue Anchor, The Foresters was sitting with the old boys drinking a light and bitter, obviously with my mouth shut and ears open as a mark of respect. Seeing the change over 34 years causes a few upsets. Seeing the locals being moved on so the community spirit has changed to a gentrification lifestyle. I miss the place as it used to be, certainly not now. I hope anyone reading this remembers how it used to be. Regards.

Whata story thanks for this video 😊

what happened to the other films in this series? excellent stuff, cheers

I loved this video, I’m becoming obsessed with the Barbican, I would love to live there!! 😀

Sadly will be a Mosque in 150 years time.

Glad to see that people are cooperating.

Awesome place. In 1996, I swam this poll underwater. Great days.

I live nearby and always wondered what the heck this place was

Amazing video

Mixed estate of homeowners and council tenants

Good grief, making everything about vagina. Goodness Lord....*sigh* No wonder women were banned, they have this insatiable appetitie to sexualise themselves and annoy men with their less than nothing swim wear and their breasts. But you're not allowed to say that, huh?

Vintage Hydro Power from the Real Past.

He destroyed the blue Market, he is more interested in live bands playing loud music? We all went there to shop, and the noise? Was awful, we will never go there again, why on earth did Southwark council give him permission to run the market 🤦‍♂️ridiculous

I adore these buildings and hope to live there one day

Great work. Well done everyone

Wasnt this the building that costed 5 million to name

I use to run a clothes shop there in the 1990s from 1990-1999 still know people who have business there but a lot of people have left the area and the old businesses have long gone!! Still sometimes drive through there sometimes on my way home use to be a good area

Watched the Bootleg Beatles there years ago... Pissed down all night

Borough and east street are way better, don't waste your time going there, its also very noisy with loud music, cant hear yourself talk to freinds.

Here's an idea if your making a video about the pool why not film the pool rather than just face it on you all the time, don't you think people actually want to see what the pool looks like!

I'm not sure which is more disturbing, the monstrously ugly building or the skirt.

I agree. It’s slightly frustrating not to know where this is, and consider whether I might visit when I’m next in London

This is amazing - thank for your showing us this beautiful estate.

Very cool video. Thank you.

I was a volunteer at the Advice Centre in the Blue in the late 1970s. So much has changed since then!

The beautiful chapel loaded with historie !! However next door a huge toiletblock as museum 😱 A disgrace to the architect ...

Isn’t it the Blue Anchor?

One of the few thoughts of former president Trump that I share - Vauxhall by the embassy is a dump

I absolutely love the Barbican I have never been to it before but must visit one day. I love the architecture mixed with all the plants

A fine recital. Tomasz Lis has a refined tone which produces a remarkable quality of sound. It is always a pleasure to listen to a recital by Tomasz Lis.

It takes a hell of a long time to get there especially as Khan & TFL are doing SFA to stop the strikes, then there is the cost to get there if Transport is working. Also how late is City Hall in delivery & how much over budget is it? £55m was the saving Khan claimed but £21m has been wasted in the late delivery! Who'd want to go visit & to encourage workers will require huge subsidies as I found out. This video is anothe POS from Khan & his PR loons.

Wow thanks for the tour.I love the Barbican Towers.

The complex (confounding?) internal walkways are usually mentioned verbally, without visuals. Your clear explanations --coupled with video-- make some sense to a never-been outsider. Cromwell Tower seems amazing. Your sensitive and timely comments add to the historic record. An update would be most welcome. MORE please!

Well done Dave

A beautiful structure that really blends in with the surroundings, you can clearly see how the architect spent weeks labouring over his drawing board sweating over the finite details on the beautiful exterior and intricate interior. A neo classical design belonging to the Halfords industrial estate cum public toilet school of design.

This is the main core of the SwamiNarayan Mandir that I have family associations to from my Great Grandfather. There was a split in the SwamiNarayan methodology as the Nishads and nomand origin people spit from this main Mandir and formed there own SwamiNarayan Mandir with there own concept myself and family do not have any associations to them. And I will continue my allegory with this one.🤴🏽🕉🔺➕

It looks hideous

I saw Albert Collins & John Lee Hooker at the old stage around 1990 time. Awesome day and fantastic place for live music. We need more music in parks now that COVID is here to stay - big names and local artists. Full immunity for weed smokers but zero tolerance for litter louts. Good luck with your project. Big love :)

From other pictures I have seen it looks like the pumps have had new motors fitted in fairly recent times. I know about the A, B, C and F stations, but where are or were D and E? I think the small building near the North (I think) end of the C Station was a valve house, but what were the other small buildings on the site? I know about the chimney bases. The colour scheme looks very different to how it was when I last saw it, a sort of yellow and grey I think, looked rather odd. I’ve been inside Abbey Mills A, C and F, Crossness and Western stations, but have only seen the outside of Deptford, from a DLR train. Is it still in use? What plant is installed in it? I can’t find any pictures of the inside of it.

This is a very interesting video I would love to see more film of old industrial areas lakes rivers and old ww2 bomb shelters anything that is cool and out of the ordinary thank-you men well done

Thank you so much for this!

This is just delightful. I love Britain more and more.

Please save the pool. Please save the great history of the UK. This represents the best of the British people. Beautiful work of art.
