The Emirates Airline cable car took a step closer to completion yesterday as moving cable car gondolas were sighted for the first time.

These pictures were taken today for Greenwich.co.uk by Daren when more test runs were being carried out using one full gondola and two skeleton gondolas.

Here’s a video that was posted to YouTube by user ‘wye001′.

Thanks to Frank for sending me this photo of the Cutty Sark’s masts, clearly visible from Greenwich South Street. The tea clipper is now three metres higher than she used to be after the refurbishment raised her up to create a new space below.

Daily Photo: 10/04/2012 – Classic Greenwich Theatre posters inside Silver Street Studios

I was lucky enough to get a look inside number 4 Nevada Street last week where there’s a great stash of vintage Greenwich Theatre posters.

Enter the Silver Street Studios, inspired by Nevada Street’s former name, and two things quickly strike you: the signs on the walls – amazing posters for old shows featuring (now) household names – and the signs for Wall’s – this place was most recently used for selling ice creams to punters heading for the park which is just metres away.

Posters for French Without Fear, A Streetcar Named Desire, Intimate Exchanges and You Should See Us Now (featuring Christopher Cazenove)

Alan Ayckbourn’s The Norman Conquests (bottom right) featured Tom Courtenay, Michael Gambon, Penelope Keith, Felicity Kendal, Mark Kingston and Penelope Wilton.

The building itself – an attractive end of terrace just a stone’s throw from Greenwich Park – is being made available for private sale.

Anyone interested in the property should enquire at Sabo’s Newsagents in Stockwell Street.
