Here’s a short video visualising the 200-year history of the shop at 113 Stoke Newington Church Street, now home to The Acoustic Stokey Garden, Brasserie and florist. It’s the longest shop timeline I’ve been able to piece together, tracing it back to the 1820s, when it was Thomas Peppercorn, Grocer.

If you heard Steve McQueen talking on ⁦@BBCRadio4⁩ this morning about the Acton Railway Tavern pub/cinema screening ā€˜Eraserhead’ through the 1980s there is a nice piece by Nigel Smith about that scruffy heaven. We used to love their U-Matic vids. londonist.com/london/film/ac…

So back in 2007 I was on the phone to Martin Scorsese (as you do) and he mentioned in passing he was working on a doc about #PowellandPressburger which was involving the BBC. After nearly 16 years, it’s being screened tonight on #BBCTWO: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002578…

Very sad closure of a beautiful cinema - so a timely thread to shed an art-deco tear to :
Bromley Picturehouse, my local Art Deco cinema, is closing today 1 August 2024. Shall we take a look at its history?.... @Bromley_PH @picturehouses #CinemaHistory

So happy the new London Museum is coming on strong - but the 'Pigeon and Splat' logo? Great in a marketing meeting no doubt, but outside in the real world, not so sure...
