I'll second that. I have a fascination for the London slums. They have gone now, but at one time existed almost as towns within a city with no contact with the outside world.

Just the contents. The concept of moving an entire house may be a bit strange to our European members, so next time I see it, I'll post some pictures. It happens quite regularly here. It's quite a sight to see a whole house trundling down the road on a semi-trailer.

I've lived in the U.S. for a number of years and don't remember seeing any houses being moved, either, though I know it happens. With the narrowness of streets and/or traffic in densely populated areas, along with infrastructure that makes for low clearances, house moving isn't done in cities where I've lived.

The closest I've ever come to seeing buildings being moved has been on road trips, and seeing mobile homes (the kind that normally don't move) being hauled by giant flatbeds.

Just remembered this book. It has some great pictures of London in it.

It is for me. The lake that I fired my teeshot over contains several thousand golf balls. I reached the back of the green with my 5 iron, chipped with a 51° wedge to within two inches of the hole and sunk it with a tap-in. Later in the round I holed a 20+ yard putt for a bogey on a par 5. Those are the kind of things that keep me going back for more.

I do not understand this one bit, but I'm happy for you

Why do you think my roses grow so well? I have a horse and pony to supply them.

You're so lucky! Do you ride them? Do they live on your own land around you or elsewhere?

Would just love to be able to have a horse of my own, ever since I was little, growing up in SE London, miles from the countryside with no possibility of that. (I had to make do with the odd horse & cart that went by.) As it is now, I'm so very grateful to be able to ride with a local RDA, about once a week. To be honest, just to be around horses in such an amazing place is so fantastic that it's certainly not a case of "second-best".

In my dreams I'm now in training for the London paralympic dressage! Ho hum

Bless! No, I'm very lucky. I live next to fields which I pay £10 a week for each horse/pony. They get extra food in the winter but mostly grass. They are native so very cheap to run. Hee Hee. I haven't ridden lately, too much going on at school but I'm hoping to get on him soon. He's had a bout of mite trouble on his legs which make him lamn so I can't ride him. I love them both to bits.



This is when we had all that snow last year and he was waiting for his hay.

Good Karma....wonderful photos, would love to see it all for myself!

Kevin....we have houses being moved all the time. They tend to do it after midnight here when there's not much traffic. We live on a hill above a main road and I've seen them going past in the wee hours of the morning. They've hit many a light pole too!
Have even been stuck driving behind one....that was just horrible and took us forever to get home!

Hayley....do love your horse....haven't been riding for years.

Yes, I think your houses are built in the same way as ours, with wood-frame construction. Europe tends to build with less mobile materials.

Yes Kevin these are our older houses called Queenslanders, all wood construction on stumps, but only ones that aren't too old that they become heritage listed

All our older areas are being revamped with new homes but they sell off the old ones when they can.....we even sold off an old house years ago. I still have the old brass front door knocker to it...a memento!
