Bicycle Tag of bike

has this been resolved yet?

Well, turns out Pho and the location make it easy to find but we went a long way round the houses to realise that. I'm away for a while so hopefully someone will venture to the badlands to get it.

Pho - check
Rainsborough - check
Hoarding suitable for depicting cho cho train - not present

Just checked the tag and found that the mural isn't on hoarding.

But anyway, I don't go south of the river at this time of night.

Tantalisingly close....

Apathy in the UK

It's a beautiful day for tagging.

Sleuth hat donned...

Pho for lunch.
Sounds nice.

OK, got it. But I'm not really sure how. Won't be able to get to it for a while though. Good luck everyone.

Old:

Mural opposite Mama Pho, on the corner of Rainsborough Avenue and the A200.

The pho is recommended.

I suppose that it is quite near Surrey Commercial docks that the PLA railway served:

Nice!
So my understanding was that this was an old railway bridge of the Deptford Branch line connecting various south London railways. The massive embankment of it still visible along Rainsborough Avenue.

Love the pho shot. That's how it should be. Nice and relaxed, not cursing in a street trying to upload.

PLA clearly stands for 'Pho's Lovely Across'.

Couldn't confirm though as I've tried to go there multiple times but it has been closed each time.

Despite all the clues simply Googling Pho Deptford brings up the place. You just had to remember to look across the road and save yourself days of fascinating railway history.

@oat44 what was the William Blake quote in reference to?

Thomas Rainsborough.

It was Thomas Rainsborough from the Putney Debates, 1647 after the civil war. I chose a less famous quote, but it does come up if you put it in quotation marks. I realize now that without quotes, it points to Blake.

Full speech here:

Aha!

This is going well isn't it?

Clue:

This stone used to reside above Earl Creek, til it was moved.

It marked the boundary between two counties, til that was moved.

Old: marker post between Kent and Surrey. But of a mission to find with the maze of streets.

New: Trying to move it a bit more central… for those of you with kids who watch Bluey, “oh, biscuits!”

You've got a generous notion of 'central'. I thought the new one was a repost but can only find another tag with the same sort of name.

This the boundary marker on the Thames? Damn, didn't even realise, should have as this was the one that triggered my anaphylactic shock episode after the effort of finding it
