Now the Monatgue Arms is one of the places that does not loom large in my memory.
I would have passed it regularly enough, given that Lausanne Road where we lived was on the route via Queens Road and Kender Street to New Cross Library.
But we left when I was thirteen so the place was just a pub I passed and never went in.
All of which means it's story and its history belong to others.
That said I rather think my old friend Peter has captured it well.
Peter and I have worked on many projects including an eighty meter instalation, and I rather think we just have begun a new one.
After all there are some fine buildings with intriguing stories waiting to be recorded.
