Goose Lane Pembroke

On the JUDP as an Ancient Monument this curved limestone wall was to the height of the first floor. It had been pointed with cement sand in the recent past which led to the decay of the rubble infill. The wall has been rebuilt by breeze blocks with a thin stone cladding. The rounded corner has been demolished to allow a door and vision for the users of the door. You can see from the photograph that there is a blue door with an ample apperture towards the rear to site the one door. This should have been considered at the Planning Application stage not when building is almost complete.

dear sir
as i have been a builder and resident in pembroke for over 70 years i find it hard to understand how you could make such comments? firstly this is not part of the town wall.
secondly the original building on the site, was an old brick garage and loft in a dangrous condition,
id just like to add that hands up to the owner for a exellent job on such a drap old place.

dear mr Campbell,
after reading your comments i feel the need to reply, i think the building work is only improveing the area. maybe your time would be of better use finding out what stone has been used on the new infomation center on the commons because it is not limestone as existing, or even use your time playing bowls and leave the good people of pembroke making it a better looking town.

cant wait a sunday is a burger van going 2 b there thankskejbxrfh

sorry ivor. we dnt have a burger van at our allegro events, but a man called Mick who uses his 1974 mk1 allegro van to sell sandwiches, a very rare allegro infact, only 7 in the UK, he found it smashed up in a wall, years ago and restored her. fine example hope to see you their. forgot to post it starts at 8am

I remember your allegro hitting the wall in 1988 as I walk my zebra spot down the lane each day to go shopping. He drank some of the water that came out of your radiator and it made him sick for ages, but youll be glad to here hes fine now. probably in better nick than your old Allegro. I used to have a mule for years but as he got older he got quite frisky with old codgers normally English ones with nothing better to do than walk around town complaining. Infact he reamed one right out. Oh yes about the wall its not part of the town wall and a vast improvement on what was there hope whoever is doing it up will be very happy there.

hi guys looks like youve got an interesting forum going, just wondering why some bloke has wrote a load of rubbish about houses and trees on an allegro club forum, could any one answer that? any way they call me austin because i love allegro's so much.

Anonymous said...

Might interest someone on this site, just found a 1977 Vanden plas on auto trader 72000miles, leather seats, walnut dash, rear picnic trays AND a new exhaust. Sounds like a bargain at just £425. Think i might view it myself as mines loosing a bit of oil these days.

Anonymous said...

tac man did the vanden plas have a vynl roof. had one myself started to fade but i sorted it out with boot polish. the old girl is a bit bouncy on the back end can any one out their help because the pit bull keeps being sick on seats

Anonymous said...

Yes Mr b. eans had the same problem with mine bouncing in the back. You need to weight her down a bit, 2 bags of skimming should do the trick. Think the 1500 vanden plas did have a vinyl roof at one time but some one tried to take it off. Looks like an open tin of spam close up. Hope this sorts your bouncing back end out. Best of luck to the pitbull.

Anonymous said...

Might be able to help you out with some skimming. Had a couple of bags left over from my own place. You can have them for free as i also have an austin allegro and would love to be part of your club. Mines a 1500 HL (high line). Not the best looker but I wouldn't swap her for the earth. Looking for a new wing mirror for mine if you can help get back to me.

I would like to see an allegro built into the wall at the top of ganders lane to show the visitors to our town of Pembroke something worthy to look at. ALso, I would like to see the old castle at the other end of t town demolished and used to fill up the mill pond to creat more parking space for us allegro lovers to do some midnight or even daytime dogging

Anonymous said...

REPLY TO GRINGO: I know geese can live to a ripe old age, and can be of different colours to their parents but I have never heard of a goose reaching 40 ish ! I am a respectable old fart but am very much a true Allegro Fanatic - who are you to speak about the history of this ancient town and it's motormobiles you foreign nationalist. Are you also a bumper bender?

Anonymous said...

dear mr campbell as i agreed with you on the case with that little man from the east end of pembroke trying to claim land from the mill pond and stop the people using a public footpath what a joker he was never mind he learned the hard way and lost.i feel that the building work on gooses lane is an improvment to the area. i await your comments

Anonymous said...

As a youngster I used to walk down the path detailed above. I recently tried to walk down there only to be verbally abused by an old man living towards the4 middle of the street, then the small man you mentioned came out of his house and stared at me in a most uncomfortable way. (I left never to return, what a shame great fishing down there.)
