I live in a street of terraced houses. I have just remembered that a house diagonally opposite to mine had major subsidence in their bay, which was propped up with scaffolding etc for some time. This was some years before my issues in my bay started. The reason I'm posting this here is that there is a large tree outside their house as well. The tree is still there, so I'm assuming that the tree was not the cause of their subsidence either. There is also no sign of further cracking, so I assume that whatever remedial measures were undertaken worked. Of course trees CAN cause subsidence, but that is two incidences locally where very bad subsidence was not due to a street tree outside the house. I don't know the actual cause in that case (though I could find out, as the then owner has moved but still lives locally) but my suspicion is that it was the same as mine, as all the terraced houses would have been built at the same time. -
The Police Station was on the corner of Crystal Palace Road and the horses were kept out the back. My Great Grandmother and Great Grandfather owned a nearby Barber shop. The police men would visit the barber shop often and get their beards shaved. My grand mother and her sister, who were growing up in the family home, would have to lather the policemens chins, much to their amusement as they giggled away. -
