For example, the '<i>the communications centre for members of the GHQ Auxiliary Units</i>' turned out to be a pair of purpose built air raid shelters for the two homes in whose garden it is situated.<br /><br />Shrewsbury House is a very useful community asset, even though it is the least well funded of all of the community centres in the Borough. My wife and I support it as much as well can, and like many locals, will fight any attempts to close it.<br /><br />You pinched golf balls off the course at Shooters Hill? You couldn't do that nowadays as the foxes seem to have a monopoly of taking them, even off the fairway!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-77112049654595513092019-05-20T15:00:11.897+01:002019-05-20T15:00:11.897+01:00Should read "wonderful local community asset&...Should read "wonderful local community asset".'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-22779492299407174012019-05-20T14:58:56.346+01:002019-05-20T14:58:56.346+01:00Hi Bob, an interesting read as usual, I recall the...Hi Bob, an interesting read as usual, I recall the Time Team episode very well, must have watched it at least three times over the years! Lovely to see the image of Shrewsbury House as my late Father in Law was the caretaker there as a retirement job. My eldest daughters attended after school classes there and used to love running around the building and the gardens, they also had disco birthday parties there so great memories of the place, areal local community asset. When I was a young teenager I used to pinch the used/lost golf balls from the course up there, got caught by the police and taken home to our house in Welling for a roasting by my parents!'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.com
