I’m so glad you know about The Library Time Machine, Martin. I’m extremely fond of Dave’s blog.
Me too. It was my local library for some years.
Ah, we must have lived in what I consider the same neck of the woods. I was brought up in Richmond and Sheen and latterly lived in Sheen until we sold last year to move to Crete.
Yep, I lived variously in the golden triangle that emanated from Harrods down the Brompton Rd and Fulham Rd to Parson’s Green and went as far north as Notting Hill — before the twerps took it over. Latterly Battersea beside the park. I used to work in Richmond and was only telling someone recently about the daily Concordes that came over at, as I recall, about 3:15pm. Time’s Arrow and progress is running backwards. Would not have happened in Victoria’s age.
Watched Concorde’s last journey overhead in Sheen. I’ve also lived in Fulham and off Gloucester Road, and beyond Notting Hill in the Westbourne Park end of Maida Vale. Clearly we were cut from the same cloth!
