I've been out on my bike, with my stinkpipe collecting kit, and have come back mainly with ones I already knew about but had, oddly, disappeared into the nether region of time gone past.
I managed to delete a sizeable portion of my stinkpipe archive a couple of years back and memory also seems to dump stuff it deems unimportant. Stinkpipes unimportant. As if!!
So to get back into the swing of it, and because it was a rare sunny day, I cycled around my locality to mop up a few stragglers, and to update a few that I hadn't seen in about 7 or 8 years. Blimey, has it been that long?
Here's my new pics - click on the link to be whisked off to my Picasa albums
New Eltham
in New Eltham I rounded up aone I'd seen on my travels, on Avery Hill road; and discovered an entirely new one on Leysdown Road.
Mottingham
In Mottingham I rephotographed the one by the BP garage, and Court Farm Lane, and for the first time, the three on Dunkery Road.
Bromley
Revisited the Kings Avenue pipe, to see it has been repainted. I think it used to be white.
Catford
photographed all the Catford High Street pipes for the first time (below). The old photos were quite poor, taken from a car I believe. this time I got up close. Also found three entirely new ones, including a type of Ham Baker never seen before. a sort of missing link of stinkpipe evolution!
Greenwich
another one I'd sen but never photographed, In the middle of a short stretch of busy dual carriageway. It's of a design I've never seen before (right).
Woolwich
Three I pass regularly but have never stopped to photograph - nothing stunning, except that one appears to be half buried in the pavement!
