Coulsdon: Former coal office

This small building at the bottom of what is now called Leaden Hill (?Why?) has had several uses over the last few years, the latest as the 'Vape Pit' to promote the wholly-undesirable habit of 'Vaping' - (use of electronic cigarettes). Lest anyone reading this should be considering taking up this habit, I would remind them that it will hit them hard in the pocket and damage their health. The vapour contains nicotine and other related alkaloid drugs, so is highly addictive. It also contains formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. Be warned NOW, before it is too late. The only beneficiaries will be multi-billion pound corporations - and they won't pay your funeral expenses.
