About 2 minutes past 7, outside the Estate Agents
3/3!
I believe it is above the betting shop opposite the new Portlands place.
Nope!
Any other takers?
easy
about 100m north of the chandos pub on brockley raise near brockley gardens . . .
whoops that should be south (always get confused , , , ) on the left as you go fomr the chandos towards stansted road . . . .
isnt it next to Mr Wellbeloved the butchers?
ps fantastic butcher, good value, the meat really TASTES, and he is a really friendly sort of chap.
also went to Wellbeloved for the first time - unbelievable that it has been in the same family since 1820s - nice chap - good meat - but not the clock..
the estate agents on the opposite side of the road from Babur, at the far reaches of brockley road?
First I thought it was nr Acorn estates, by the roundabout in Crofton Park; but now I'm thinking it's up that way too - nr Babur the takeaway - not the restaurant.
Estate agents in Brockley seem to be closing down at a great rate; King Sturge has vanished overnight, and Jones & Verdi hasn't been open for some time...
Pure guesswork - that sign looks old and the Estate Agent bit may be a red herring, as it might refer to a former occupant. There used to be an estate agency in the building where Toad's Mouth 2 is now but I don't remember the clock from there. The other contender that comes to mind, based on the architecture of the building and the look of the sign, is Bowditch & Sons, 1 Stondon Park - but I see from the internet that that's SE23 so it's probably not there.
Basically a long-winded way of saying - dunno.
Oops, I neglected to declare a winner on this one, didn't I?
I'm not exactly sure where some of your suggestions are (eg. anonymous #1) but I think TJ and Fabhat are on the right track - it's just south of Crofton Park on Brockley Rd, on the same side as the Babur takeaway (if you're heading south, it's on the left). Above a doctor's surgery. No sign of an estate agent's in the building ...
Argh, sorry, just checked a map, Tressiliana clearly got it too! I never realised that part of the road was called Stondon Park ...
I think this is next to the lovely take away that sells Pigeon and Chips and Dog Leg kebab.
It's handy having the clock as a focal point when ordering the ambulance...
