Mmm good work Andy. Many thanks - seems quite poignant in its current state.


And of course you are allowed to resurrect old threads - in fact, it is positively encouraged compared to starting a new one on subjects that have been covered in the past.


Keep up the good work.


David.

I moved to ED, Heber Road, in 2001 and the pub although closed was still the same as it looks in the photo from all_star above.

I think it was converted to flats shortly after that, maybe 2002. Great shame as it would be nice to have a pub on the same road as you live on. My then neighbour "Pete" said he used to run the pool team there before it shut, but he was a man of poor personal hygiene, so hope he was not typical of their clientele.

Yes that's right.. I went there once on a Sunday (1982) with my then wife.. only to find there were strippers..


And if that was not Odd enough, the Garden was open and there were Kids going back and forth throughout the pub.


For Fox Sake

My Uncle & Aunt, Sonny & Nell Vincent lived next door to the Heber Arms, at No. 7,

from before WWII until they died, Sonny in 1972 and Nell in 1974.


My Father used to take our Family to visit his brother when we lived in Herne Hill,

and we walked through Townley Road to get the No. 37 bus home -

how I hated that walk in the dark.

This was my familys local growing up! I was often given 50p and a bottle of coke to go and play while dad had his pint! Always handy that i went to the primary school next door so dad never wasted beer time! Kill 2 birds with 1 stone! Pick me up and have a pint! Haha! The good old days!!!

My friend bought that flat - we did venture down the basement (with a little Dutch courage) and it was very basement like. I agree - a bit creepy. But we faced our fears!

    • The country didn't "hate Corbyn". Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer, if memory serves, and it was only due to our weird electoral system that they didn't win the previous election. Any hatred of Corbyn was whipped up by the right wing press. The Labour Party has completely lost its way. It doesn't seem to know what it stands for any more, and its members have deserted it in droves. Including me. Anyway, this is probably for the lounge, not being directly relevant to the subject of the thread.
    • Agree but Labour made a far worse start and the wheels seem to be falling off spectacularly quickly. Whatever the reason for Reeves' tears it made the markets very jittery and now there is real doubt about how much longer she will last but Starmer cannot afford to lose her - I think they are both toast and the likes of Rayner and Streeting will be licking their chops. A bit like what is happening with Cllr McAsh locally the internal politics of the Labour party always are the real driver of policy, direction and execution and for a government with such a huge majority to be struggling so much so early is really worrying. We should all be very scared because this is paving the way for Reform and a leadership challenge or swing to the farther-left within Labour would be an unmitigated disaster - we had another term of Boris because the country hated Corbyn and his far-left ideology and the far-left Labour may see a leadership challenge as their only feasible way to take the reigns - a bit like Cllr McAsh and his Momentum buddies.
    • He has been around for a few months now and looks so sad and unhappy   ,he is coming into the gardens at the top end of  Upland and  Dunstans Roads .Just wondered if he is owned as he is not neutered and keeps getting into fights with cats .
    • Starting with Brexit, all the way through to drunken lock down parties, and then finishing on Liz Truss' 'mini budget', I would say it was fairly disastrous from start to finish.
