    It was called the Anvil Inn. The Queens Head was over the other side of the road until it was bulldozed to make way for the roundabout. Sometime after that, the Anvil became the Queens Head..that`s maybe when building changed too?

    I haven`t a clue about THE Guidepost...i`ll see what i can dig up though.

    I grew up thinking the Anvil Inn was on the other side of the now Queens Head in Guide Post. I was also lead to believe my Dad (Jackie White) was actually born there in the Anvil.

    Isn`t also the name Guide Post linked to just down the road Scotland Gate ie. a guide post on the gateway to Scotland. Or have I dreamt that last bit up!

    Too many nights spent in the Queens & Shakespeare at an early age methinks.

    Merlin.

    Greenwich CC clearly state the law in the second paragraph of this:

    http://www.greenwich.gov.uk/Greenwich/YourEnvironment/Noise/AlarmsPage.htm

    I used to serve on a 4 counties risk management group when alarm regs were revised & if my memory serves me well I think they should be limited to 3 audible alarms & then cut off to display the flashing light only. This info is from a few years ago mind.

    Hope this helps.

    Hang on just found the relevant legislation: Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005

    I think you need to contact an NCC Enforcement Officer.

    Do you remember these?

    Classic little public information films. I believe we have a lot to thank them for. They may have helped us get to the ripe old age we did!

    On one occasion "Clunk Click" certainly did for me!
