You could write about the gate that still exists in Honiton, Devon, on the Axminster Road. Odd feature next to it.

Enjoyed this. Do we really have to wait a decade before the next installment?

Please say when you expect to tell us about the final interesting place in London.
Wearing my pedant hat, I'm disappointed to see the Greenwich sign described as the most ostentatious when apparently compared with Bexley's. |

The mini golf course occupies the former site of ILEA's County Gate sportsground.

Presumably the last interesting place in London will be followed by the first uninteresting place in London, which by virtue of that fact, will automatically be interesting. Err..
|
|
First, no one forbids the places and interesting things to be told twice or more. Second, I still believe London won't stop giving fun. Third, ten years are more than enough for one to develop new perspectives.

Maybe it's time for the occasional dg revisited. Pick a date 10 years ago and take a second look. March 17th maybe.

I'm pretty certain streetscapes will have changed dramatically by the 2030's - I expect to see the last of telegraph poles and their unsightly wires, the last of fossil fueled vehicles sitting there without 'tethers', rooflines showing the rampant roll-out of higher tech solar panels, pavements with kinetic pads etc. Plenty to look forward to.

...i expect this blog to continue well into the 2050s ...if not i'd be requesting a partial refund on my life-long subscription.

Kent lost parts of its area to the newly-formed London County Council in 1889, with Greenwich, Woolwich and Lewisham all transferring. Indeed, one of Lewisham Hospital's older buildings still contains Invicta, the white horse symbol of Kent, on its facade.
Perhaps there are other traces of these old boundaries and allegiances still extant - I'll still be happily reading the then 74/75-year-old DG's blog to find out. |

Have you already covered Boundaries? One near my natal home was Boundary Road, off the A210 Blackfen Road, only a mile or two from County Gate, Kent version.

I believe the correct heraldic blazon for the arms of Bexley is "within a ring gules, a hound expellant sable".
