Live at the Bull

hilly — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 21:38:01 +0000

The Eskalators kicked off a season of live music at The Bull on Shooters Hill last night in great style with a brilliant ska set that included one of the best versions of Hey Joe I’ve heard, and that includes the Tim Rose version I heard back in Leeds more years ago than I care [...]

Shooters Hill ward will move out of the Eltham parliamentary constituency into a new Thamesmead and Plumstead constituency if the latest Boundary Commission for England proposals are implemented. The map above shows which wards would be in the new constituency, and there is also an excellent visualisation of the changes on the Guardian web site [...]

Shooters Hill Crime Statistics

hilly — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:00:02 +0000

My inbox and twitter feed seem to include a lot of crime at the moment, which set me wondering whether crime in the area is increasing, or just more visible because of improved information flow. There certainly is more information. For example the Metropolitan Police have a Neighbourhood Link community messaging service which sends out [...]

Edge of the City – Plumstead Film Festival

hilly — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 10:35:59 +0000

In a twist of serendipity, just as one Plumstead festival dies, another springs to life1, thanks to the PiP. The theme of the Festival, The Edge of the City, was chosen to evoke not only the idea of a geographical location, but a psychological state of mind. Our Festival has recognised the possibility of marginalisation [...]

Live Music at Shooters Hill Bull

hilly — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 15:19:45 +0000

As someone said recently, why go to the dome to watch a band on a screen when you can see the real thing at the Bull. I went to a great little gig there last Saturday, it was one of those so bad it’s good kind of gigs, with much hilarity ensuing over their demolition [...]

Plumstead UnMake Merry

hilly — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 22:35:01 +0000

Right, that’s it, Greenwich’s longest running festival has been cancelled. I know that conspiracy theories have been floated to the effect that the council are withdrawing support from community events as part of the cuts blame game, but as the organisers of the event acknowledged on the in the meantime radio show, the council has [...]

Plumstead Make Merry cut

hilly — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 00:54:57 +0000

Last year I wrote a very positive review of the Plumstead Make Merry (Est. 1978), which I wrote after having had a great time feeling very optimistic about the local area. I saw various local faces down there, got chatting with some of them, found out about the environment group’s excellent newsletter, saw various community [...]

Crossrail is back!

I’m not really posting at the moment… not that there isn’t much to talk about: the lilypond restoration, the shifty bit of the woods, shooters hill against the mast (that’s going well), the aperture woolwich photographic society exhibition at the QE hospital, the speed guns, the price increase at the cafe (about 10p), minister gove [...]
