Dunno, but you could always try asking WSCC on the link here (scroll down to Route Closures)?
Many thanks, I'll give that a try.

Rob
Basically my MTB is quite old and has only one mounting point for a bottle.
I also suffer with neck and shoulder problems. Riding with a backpack is out of the question at the moment, or at least that's what my osteopath recommends.
I was thinking that placing the bottle carrier to the rear of the crossbar, it might be out the way of my knees.

Cross bar water bottle carrier.
Looking for a carrier that I can suspend below a crossbar. Obviously there isn't any mounting points, and also whether a standard carrier would be strong enough. I"be seen types that can carry a wine bottle, but don't want that type. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It's an airflow slide on a bbg. It consists of a very thin steel disc and a steel rod (approx 1/8 in dia) which detached itself from the disc. Originally the rod appears to have been spot welded to the disc (very tiny spot welds).

Not a lot. Looks a fairly unpleasant area.
Mike Carter has written a book One Man and His Bike about his ride around the coast. No idea if he was the first or thousand and first but it's a good read.
Many thanks. I will try and hunt that book down.

According to Spitalfields Life,As a market, it was a spectacular failure and the housing element hardly fared better. Purposely built with ill-fitting doors and no glass in the corridor windows, they were an icy, inhospitable series of dwellings. The basement and other parts of the structure were damaged by bombing in World War Two. It was certainly salvageable yet, despite protests at the time, the entire complex of buildings was demolished in the nineteen-sixties.
It would have been a perfect building to house the type of hipster enterprises that happen in that neighbourhood. No sarcasm intended.
Your right. I believe in post war Britain there were a lot of buildings that could have been salvaged and put to other uses. Not to sure what style those buildings were, Gothic perhaps ?

I completely agree with you there. Historically alone, I would have thought this building and square were worth preserving. As I understand it, these buildings were an early social housing scheme, but I could be wrong there.
There did seem to be, in the 50's and 60's, a lot of buildings that were demolished that perhaps today would not be.

My memory map A_Z ( 2015) only finds a columbia sq in south london, mortlake
Nothing per say
About two months ago, I bought a small book from a charity shop called "The London Nobody Knows" by Geoffrey Fletcher.
No photos in this book, just some quite nice pen and ink sketches, a medium I dabble in albeit not very successfully.
In said book was a sketch of Columbia Square. Don't ask me why cause I can't answer, this sketch intrigued me.
My son and myself are going to London in a couple of weeks, and we were going to go to Bethnal Green to see if the square was still there. No point now it's been pulled down.

Bethnal Green and around Britain.
Does anybody on this forum live in Bethnal Green, if so, can they tell me if Columbia Square is still there, or has it been redeveloped.
Secondly. Who was the first person to cycle around the coastline of Britain, and was there a book written about it ?
Many thanks if anyone can help.
