The top deck of a London bus has to be a pretty neat way of seeing the world below.
And when it is the same bus at about the same time every day then you have got yourself a project.
All you need is a camera and the patience each week to record the same spot.
It helps if there is a major new development underway like the one in the High Street and the rest as they say is Larissa Hamment’s “Pictures from an Eltham bus.”*
And today Larissa sent me this one with the comment "fresh off the iPhone ...the old co-op building."
So with the demise of the old Co-op we still have Larissa's pictures and that has got to be good for all of us who like Eltham and its history.
Location, Eltham High Street, Eltham, London
Pictures; 2017, from the collection of Larissa Hammen
