fire in brockley

a few nights ago at around 2am it all of a sudden looked as if the back end of the garden was brightly lit before we realized that one of the workshops in ashby mews was on fire.



a rather dramatic sight, and London Firebrigade assured us that they were already on their way... in the 15 minutes it took them the whole mews started to come alight, with pieces of burning debris flying through the gardens



being well used to the sound of police sirens practically day and night the arrival of several units was nevertheless a relief as by now it looked that the fire was ready to spread into our garden

it took a while to sort the fire out with firemen climbing through the trees but in the end they won

a rather sad sight the next day...



and only more cynical souls than us make any connection to the planning permission for the buildings that was refused in july...
