yes - the telephone exchange now occupies the former fire station site.

The cinema - I cannot recall the grand entrance when I used to watch the children's Saturday Morning Shows in the 1960's.


I lived in Ondine Road from 1971 - 75 and for much if that time the cinema was a venue for a Marhareshi Yogi or some such name - an eastern meditation guy. Crowds of people attended - for most part very peaceful, except when they got into arguements with locals over car parking Some things never change!

I remember the yoga lot.. bearded hippies. They ran a Saturday morning cinema club/drama club for us kids long after the cinema proper had closed mostly showing 1950's sci-fi movies (my memory is a bit hazy about it but I think the seats had been removed). They had an old double decker bus parked in the car park next to it.


I think most of the theatre props got 'liberated'and the bus vandalised. That was the end of that.

My dad took me to see "Carry On Don't Lose Your Head" at Dulwich odeon. That was the last time i went there. I remember that we used to come out through the back door after the film into Tintagel Crescent. I reckon that was very probably not long before it closed. i was about 7 which would make it 1971.

Talking of the hippies: i remember being in Savarins Cafe (which used to be a couple of doors along from the Bishop; anyone remember?)one Thursday afternoon with my dad and 4 of them came in and order 2 slices of bread between the 4 of them. when the bread arrived that cut into 4 slices and had a slice each. My dad told them that were all mad.

    • As every day goes by, it looks increasingly likely that Trump is going to sell Ukraine down the river. It's a re-run of Chamberlain and Hitler over Czechoslovakia. Trump talks of re-allocating "assets" which means conceding assets of Ukraine to Putin  and of putting in peace-keeping forces into Ukraine  to "guarantee" security. History tells us that peace-keeping forces are ineffective. Remember Bosnia & Hertzogovinia in 1996. Remember the peace keepers on the Golan Heights. They disappeared without firing a shot when Serbia and Israel took military action. It will be the same in Ukraine. Give it five years (or less) and Russia will extend its land grab.  Sadly, history repeats itself because the appeasers fail to grasp the realities. Just pray that The Donald becomes the fifth before too long.  
    • Niko completed a third job for me now. A leaking tap that was oozing from everywhere. I called Niko in the morning, showed him a recording of the problem,  and he was over with a new tap, fitted within the hour. Job done, perfect! I know I can always rely on Niko. He is my go to plumber.
