Dear Brinkster, The Royal Borough of Kingston has received a planning application for the change of use of the BBC Sports Ground at Motspur Park to cemetery: http://maps.kingston.gov.uk/isis_main/planning/Planning_DETAIL.aspx?strCASENO=0814168&strHeader=Y and local residents have submitted an online petition to oppose this ill thought out plan collecting signatures now: http://epetitions.kingston.gov.uk/list_petitions.asp I am writing to you about this since in the past you showed interest in this issue and in the hope that you give a bit of publicity and support in your blog to our petition to oppose this nonsense. I would be very grateful if you can post your comments to this issue and links to the planning application and the petition against it. Thank you Giuseppe
Anonymous The only video rental places I know of are BLockbuster in North Cheam and New Malden and I'm guessing from your comment that one or both of those has closed. I've used Lovefilm to rent DVDs from in the past and the service has been pretty good but if you just want to wander out at the last minute and rent a DVD then I don't think there's anything around here any more :(
Dear Brinkster, Having grown up in Donnington Road, Worcester Park, I was interested to learn that some of the Pre-Raphaelite painters came to Worcester Park Farm to paint. However, I have been unable to find the exact location of the farm. Do you know it, and also the location of the background scene to 'Ophelia'? I would be grateful for any help you can give. I have a postcard of the farm which states on the back that it was on the left of Central Road (going downhill) beyond the junction with Windsor Road, but I haven't been able to narrow it down more than that.
Hi Eric Your postcard is correct in that it was in the space below Windsor Road just set back from Central Road, pretty much where the waste ground behind the row of shops is now, stretching down into Waitrose car park. I can't claim any great historical talent on this because it's actually shown quite prominently on the map adorning the front cover of David Rymill's excellent book Worcester Park and Cuddington: A Walk through the Centuries. If you don't have a copy yet I'd recommend it.
Eric , I went on a walk last Sunday where we were shown where he painted the background for Ophelia and took some photos, see my blog for details. Drop me an e:mail if you want details of exactly where it is.
Hi again Eric. After further discussion with David Rymill the farm on the front of his book isn't the Worcester Park Farm that Holman Hunt stayed at. At that time the name Worcester Park Farm belonged to premises at the top of The Avenue south of the church and part of the original wall can still be seen. Hope that helps clarifies things.
Has anyone heard what was happening at the station tonight approx 7.00pm. Road was closed & I was diverted up Church Road. I managed to come back out onto Malden Road via The Manor Drive. There were 2 ambulances approx 100 yards to the left on carner near where the green starts & the police had cordoned off the station. Then as I got to top of Central Road 2 more police cars sped past nearly taking me out ! presumable on way to station ?

Great web sitе уou have got here.. It's difficult to find high quality writing like yours nowadays. I really appreciate individuals like you! Take care!!
I rеаllу соulԁn't leave this website before suggesting that you add a bit more background financial information for your visitors. It is gonna be an even more appealing blog if you do.
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an very long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn't appear. Grrrr... well I'm not writing all that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say great blog!
This is really interesting, You are a very skilled blogger. I've joined your feed and look forward to seeking more of your great post. Also, I have shared your site in my social networks!
However, it is common that initially you need to do so in order to draw attention for a page. Money can buy anything, which is easily implemented on this piece of example. It's not enough to put a half-baked profile high on Linked - In and watch for job proposes to roll in.
I do agree with all the ideas you have offered in your post. They're very convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for beginners. May just you please lengthen them a little from next time? Thank you for the post.
Due to the number of spam commenters out there your comment won't appear immediately but I'll get a notification that it's there and that I need to approve it. Once I get the chance to do that then it will appear on the site.
This is a community blog and as such is read by people of all ages and backgrounds so comment and debate is encouraged, but personal attacks or abuse will be deleted.
Thanks for taking the time to make a comment. It's much appreciated!!
