Despite the loss of lumbering, trams,
And 'buses, with a landing pad,
The demise of Well Hall wooden platform,
And end of Eltham Park, so sad.

The last of telegraph pole of wood,
of cast iron green lamp post,
And zebra crossings in the High Street,
The old Vicarage, now a ghost,

The passing of the Green Line coaches,
The re-routing of Rochester Way,
The loss of water drinking-fountains,
And large flat paving stones of grey.

Doctor Who's spacecraft gone,
Bells on squad cars now a scream,
Water cooled Noddy bikes,
And Gaumont silver screen, a dream.

Hinds no longer with us,
Carpenters Arms a lost retreat,
Post Office moved from Passey Place,
Burtons now the 'burgers beat.

Despite all this,
Henry would be at home
In this Society,
Where best of old, and new,
Agree!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
