Selbach Catalogue

Selbach were one of the very top racing bicycle producers in the 1920s -30s (right up until the untimely death of the owner in 1935). Their shops were once just around the corner from me in Kennington.

I saw this catalogue on ebay - very nice, but i'm holding out for one of their bikes!

Kennington Theatre

This Theatre once stood quite close to my flat, and was a significant South London musichall venue (it's a block of flats now, the original building was destroyed in the war).

I love the graphic design of the program:

The only pub with a pool

One of my favourite Kennington landmarks is the George & Dragon pub. I've no idea when it closed, but certainly several years ago (I think I first stumbled upon it around three or four years ago).

I do wonder exactly why a pub with a pool would fail as a business, especially as it's the only one.

And then again.

Meeting new friends...

I found this strange advert in the window of a newsagents on the Walworth Road in south London. The text if you can't quite make it out reads, "meeting new firends going out clubbing" and a telephone number.

I have no idea what they're after...
