Dave M, The school you mentioned, was that the one on Collingwood drive ? If so I think it is a Medical centre now, When we lived up on Frampton Way our doctors surgery was in that building. Speed Bumps, they are everywhere now, I was surprised to see them along there, being a bus route, or is it now ?
Good morning Astoness, the entrance shown on the pic is where I got the kingstanding beacon from as it is in the iron works above that entrance. Maybe the council had a go at changing what it is called for some reason or maybe they didn't want to comission signs sayin pimple lol.hi pau...i am just round the corner from sidcup and the hill is still known locally as the pimple...

I bought my first houd on Landswood close which was built in the lat 60's early seventies behind sidcup road on the side of a hill now known as the kingstanding beacon . I believe in earlier times it was know as the pimple, and the other side of this was finchly road. Now I notice on those old maps "welshmans hill" could that be the same place and if so why would a hill be named as such right in the middle of Kingstanding?
