London Road Fire. Pictures and Info from Terry Nunn of London Road Community Forum.

London Road was closed between Tower Hamlets and Beaconsfield Road in the small hours of Sunday morning when fire broke out at number 309. Three water tenders and a turntable ladder were called when the house was almost gutted. At one point it is thought that up to eight water tenders were on the scene. It is not known at the moment how the fire started or if the house was occupied. Several of the houses in the terrace, including the one next door are currently being refurbished.

There is also more information and pictures on the Fire from our 'roving reporters' in the Letters Club Forum.
Dont miss it!

The English Channel Friday Oct 3.
It is perhaps amazing that Dover does not have it's very own colony of artists. The light here is so dramatic, and it changes into a million different variations every single day. The famous White Cliffs of Dover are a case in point. The colours vary enormously, depending on the time of day seen, with the light being so pure and spectacular. Why we dont see great daublers dashing their paintbrushes across broad canvases is a mystery to me. I believe Deal, our near neighbour, is much more the arty town. I've never ever seen an artist at work here in Dover, which seems a shame. Although if memory serves me well, Turner himself once ran up a canvas or two here, perhaps strapped to the mast of an English Channel schooner, on a day much like today....and... ahem.. speaking of artists, one tries to capture all these spectaculars with one's humble little camera!
