RMweb Gold unravelled Posted November 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2018 I am trying to date some of my badly organised slides. There are a couple of events I have photos of and which I would like help in dating them. My efforts so far to search for dating evidence has been unsiccessful. The first is the replacement of the bridge under Lewisham station, when the bottom of Loampit vale was made dual carriageway and the (recently removed) roundabout.created. The other is the stabilisation work on Brockley bank, adjacent to Vesta road bridge. This happened after a row of new houses had been constructed, witth allegedly dodgy approval/inspection of ground works. This is the final clearup after a retaining wall, with substantial ground anchors under the houses, had been constructed. I have guesstimated dates of 1993, 1994, 1996 for the three events, but would be happy to be corrected, and get more detailed dates. Thanks Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham Green Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Can't help with the dates either I'm afraid ( no dates on the slide mounts ? ) ...... I just hope the travelling public didn't have to pay for any of that !!?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatty Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) The bus in the first photo has the later London Transport roundel, but no company names (ie Selkent/ London Central)above the door. Therefore I would say that it was about 1987/88 Edited November 30, 2018 by Tatty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbishop Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Dave, The Odeon cinema was demolished in 1992 to make way for the roundabout. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold unravelled Posted November 30, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2018 Thanks for all the suggestions, I like the diffferent dating cues used. My guess for the Lewisham work was August bank holiday 1993, but it could be a year either way. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
