The pumping station at Croydon is still there (albeit muchly tarted up since the riots and since this photo was taken):
Presumably this is one of the places where, each time they started up the engines, someone had to hold a sack over the end of the pipe to catch the rats as they were expelled, having been enjoying chewing on the leather seals that were kept tender with applications of tallow and beeswax. -

We need to buy this and turn it into the forum HQ.

There used to be a short section of wall which was either the last remnant of the canal lock, or built from the same stones, under the road bridge at New Cross Gate station, east side. I was on the platform one morning when they began to knock it down, and in the spirit of historical sharing I mentioned the story to one of the workers. He looked at me like a piece of shit on his shoe and walked away laughing... #londonlife

So is it the latest tag or not? Haha
-
• #16210
um, yeah, I'm confused too, what is the current tag?
-

Ludwig's original tag (the lane) was apparently inside the M25 so does count.
As he's also posted up an alternative closer to London you can officially do either.
I look forward to hearing what is interesting about these tags, but beats a wall I guess :P

so we are looking for either:
or:
Just so that everyone is clear :)

I think the one just inside the M25 is just because it is just inside the M25 (and Ludwig happened to be there). The other one? Beats me but that's the way the money goes.

Is this ok?
Can't find it before in the search, theres a map? etc -
• #16217
Yes fine. Like the bar tape details. Just let me know when and where you would like to take some pictures of my beaten titanium bike please?
-
• #16218
Do you actually want me to?
-
• #16219
I know where it is! Can I be bothered to cycle that far? Probably not. Was I there last week? Oh course...

Second time this week I've been accused of being cleverer than I am. No idea what you are talking about. I recognise the building. Or at least I think I do.
-
• #16222
Well it's not a building so maybe you don't? Haha
-
• #16223
That second picture is lovely. #rep
Always good to see some artful bike tag pictures, I haven't made enough effort with my recent tags.
I'm glad I didn't go to get this as for some reason thought that junction was in/near Deptford, even though I should have recognised City Road.
What are they doing to that building?

Thanks guys. I was actually just passing old street so took the opportunity to snap the old one but just had my phone on me. On my way to the new place I picked up my camera. Took a few more shots of the area sans bike. Which could be found with not very much detective work haha
Is this the latest one then or not? I'm confused and eager to get my first tag!
