New Year’s Eve pubs in Blackheath

The Bugle will be back in Black(heath) for New Year’s Eve, and has come up with a list of pub opening times, and whether you’ll need a ticket to get in.  This was achieved  by spending the day walking around the village grumbling about the cold.

Druidic Blackheath

Blackheath has a druidic past. There are many connections in the area with Druidic orders and secret societies.  The danger here is that as soon as you type the word “druid” into a search engine, all manner of crazy things appear, “did we land on the moon?” etc etc.  So take all of the links [...]

We are still here…

Sad little message on the front of Woolworth’s in Lewisham… Bet the staff aren’t having a very good Christmas.

Twittering in Blackheath

The Blackheath Bugle is now twittering (tweeting?).  Twitter is really handy for keeping up to date with events and news stories, a bit like sending text messages to groups of “followers”. It doesn’t cost anything, and from now on, each new post on this blog will appear at http://twitter.com/blackheathbugle.  However – the image on the [...]

Morris Dancing in Blackheath

The Bugle has packed up his suitcase (excessively over-stuffed by Mrs Bugle) and thumped it down every one of the steps towards the London-bound platform for the last time before Christmas. I’m starting to wish that the proposed station lift had appeared.
If you’re in Blackheath over the festive period, and are looking for a [...]

Subliminal suggestion by local council?

Just noticed the new instructions on the recycling wheelie-bins. It seems that they are recommending that we recycle one particular brand of trash…

Lewisham Station Adjammed

Couldn’t be bothered to wait for the train at Lewisham, so trudged the classic route past the building work (do they ever do any building work in there?), and spotted this wonderful piece of Subvertising.  Quite right too – I couldn’t believe it the first time I saw the ad in London Bridge.  This blogger [...]

Blackheath Society

The Blackheath Society have just released their latest newsletter.  It is always well worth a read to find out what is going on around the village, particularly with regards to town planning.  Highlights include Momo Franks (unlikely to make a return, it seems), plans for a pedestrianised square near the Library, and trouble with the [...]

Grauniad in Bugle love-in!

They said nice things!  Not exactly long-winded, but better than nothing.  And no spelling errors.

The Blackheath Scientific Society

Here’s a nice thing I hadn’t spotted before… In the spirit of all the other societies that seem to exist around this area, I also discovered “The Blackheath Scientific Society“.  They started in 1857, hold regular lectures, most of which are open to the public, and meet in Mycenae House, here (which apparently used to [...]
