Olympia To Lose Weekday Service

The fight to keep a regular weekday service to Olympia has been lost. Transport for London have decided to remove the current timetable from this coming December.

Thanks From Waqar & Zulfiqar

The managers of the recently closed 
and already missed corner-shop Mace,

 Waqar and  Zulfiquar, would like to 

"thank everyone for a wonderful experience."

Mace Closes

Mace the mini-mart, on North End Crescent, has shutdown.   The business was hit hard by the arrival of a Sainsbury's across the road.  Everyone will miss the friendly staff, who were there for us, 365 days a year.  LETRA's sorry to see such a good shop go.  Lets hope a new owner for the premises can be found soon, as it's a prime retail spot in the area. 
Update:  After talking to the shopkeepers, the new Sainsbury's, wasn't the only factor in Mace's closure, high rent levels were also to blame. The landlord is now looking to turn the property into flats, which they believe will bring a better return. 

The Last Pre-Raphaelite

The Burne-Jones & Morris families at The Grange

An interesting extract from, Fiona MacCarthy's 'The Last Pre-Raphaelite'  in the Telegraph.  It's on the life and loves of  the artist Edward Burne-Jones who lived at The Grange, the mansion house, that once stood within our estate.
