The tram line in Woolwich Market I remember only too well.bobmunro said:Diebythesword said:
Beresford square market is still going. The indoor market has been long gone. Still waiting on it to be turned into flats and a cinema.Solidgone said:
beresford square looking really nice now. Could do with that cafe moving in at the pavilion and when the poundstretcher building goes
I'm not old enough to remember trams, but I do remember the tram lines still being in the square - I'm assuming they have gone now.I worked on a stall on the High Pavement in the early 70s and the rails had only been tarmaced over. They had started to reappear.The barrow boys would load the barrow and then run down the slight incline to the market incinerator on the left. Me being a new lad thought this looked like a great idea and I proceeded to copy the older lads.
One occasion I “overloaded “ my barrow and pushed off, only for the barrow to be too heavy for me to control. The offside wheel got caught in the rut of the rail and proceeded to pick up speed and momentum. Despite the Policeman on point duty ordering me to stop I continued to pick up speed and despite wanting to go left promptly turned right and careered along Plumstead Rd.
My fellow barrow boys could hardly stand up.6 -
Around 2,000 phones and a secret room stuffed with electronics and £50,000 worth of games consoles were found after a raid at a phone shop in Woolwich.

Saw the aftermath of this. I’m sure most of the “phone” shops you see on high streets have a similar set up.clive said:Around 2,000 phones and a secret room stuffed with electronics and £50,000 worth of games consoles were found after a raid at a phone shop in Woolwich.

You could probably do the same with half the shops along Oxford street to be fair. Seem to remember the American candy stores being raided.0
