A planning application has recently gone in to redevelop the "stable block" in Ruskin Park as a cafe / multi use space. @RuskinParkSE5 (Friends of Ruskin Park) have been campaigning to find a use for this neglected building for some time. colin-m.com/2025/01/24/rus…
At the weekend Coldharbour Lane was closed to allow the delivery of a "Supergrid Transformer" for the National Grid. I've written a bit about this and the history of Loughborough Junction's Bengeworth Road power station. colin-m.com/2025/01/21/pow…

I've written a bit about the viaduct repair work that's going on at the moment in Loughborough Junction - Network Rail's buddleia problem: LJ's viaducts under attack colin-m.com/2024/11/01/net…
A couple of weeks ago I posted a video explaining why Loughborough Junction ended up where it did. This one looks at how LJ itself developed during the same period of time (about 1860-1900). colin-m.com/2024/10/31/vid…
