  • John Brock, the firework manufacturer renowned for his displays at The Crystal Palace, when that stood atop Sydenham Hill - as evidenced by the pub The Pyrotechnists Arms

    Great knowledge, I always wondered why the pub is named that. Nice one.

  • I thangeouw.

    For 8 years I lived in a house-share just down the road, opposite the Golden Anchor pub, in the house which had previously been home to the recording studios of The Mad Professor's Ariwa Sounds label. Although he'd moved to Thornton Heath some time before I'd moved in, we'd still get demo tapes shoved through the letterbox on a fairly regular basis.
    Bonus!

    It was a party house. My age, shoe size and house number were all the same - in a syzygy kind of way.
    It is the best place I have ever lived.

    I've always been into stuff about The Crystal Palace.
