1985, It made the TV news, The block was stuck halfway down and leaning for a while.
I am not 100% sure the flats where in Hackney but as i recall i was somewhere in Hackney when i took the picture.

Thanks. I’d been over here since '74 so didn’t get to hear about it. I wonder how they finished it off. I remember a disaster over here when a building was blown down with explosives. A 13 year old girl was standing a long way from it, but was hit and killed by a lump of debris.

Out for a walk in rural France today & came upon this still working had new tyres & battery too lol0

One of the ultimate Saviem SG2, with the restyled plastic grille. I think they made them until 1982 (Renault badged from 1980 to 1982), when it was replaced by the Renault B 70.

That would be at the “Cart Marking” ceremony. Stuart Ritchie is an enthusiastic supporter
of the charity, and a well known vintage vehicle restorer in County Durham. That Commer
has been owned by the company since new. Regards Kev.

That’s enough of that thank you, you’re setting my taste buds going, any more Trans.Cafe menus and i could be persuaded to dust my licence off and help to solve the nations driver shortage.
A bit of ‘rest day’ working delivering to petrol stations will do nicely. No top loading now so I wouldn’t need to climb on top of the bloody things.

P.S. I’d exchange the bread and butter for a nice thick slice of fried bread.

The Quayside Cafe owned by Geordie Dunn on Newcastle Quayside was renowned for his fried spam sarnies, He never did bacon , But when he retired and his son took over the bacon appeared allong with black pudding too, Larry.
