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.

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!

    • Absolutely agree , the pool is in a disgusting state at the moment. I’ve also noticed how dirty it’s been lately, especially around the edges and in the changing rooms. It’s honestly at the point where it feels unhygienic, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people got sick from swimming in it. You’ve done the right thing by reporting it  hopefully if more of us raise concerns , they’ll take it seriously. Happy to add my voice to any formal complaint or petition if that helps. Thanks for speaking up — you’re definitely not alone!  
    • Let's see if we can get a key so the notice board can actually be updated by someone who cares and has time (thank you Jellybeanz, if you want to do that, and if Sue can get a key), or we can have a group of key holders and content managers. It's not hard is it. There's not really any point having one if it doesn't have information
    • I  got a take away yesterday evening.  I stupidly ordered a side as well as  a bowl.  I have a hefty appetite but I had leftovers for breakfast and still some for lunch-and delicious.
    • I find that very confusing to read, because you have not separated what I said in my previous post from your reply in a way that makes it easy to see who said what. It also makes it very hard to respond to what you have said without confusing things even further! Is there any reason why you didn't just use the quote option as usual?
