    They Shall Not Grow Old

    This is a bit of an aside but the Alexandra Theatre on the corner of Ford Street and Cox Street was built specifically to show the original black & white newsreel clips on which the film is based. Prior to that they were shown at the Sydenham Palace music hall on the corner diagonally...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Another 'glowing endorsement' of the EU from a pro-EU newspaper...

But it has become a highly lucrative income stream for...

    London stabbings...

    I know exactly what you mean. Visit Spon End around school closing time (3.00pm) any afternoon and you'll think you're living in a middle-eastern city.
