Quiz: where in Brixton is this?

[Dexter Deadwood]

Dexter Deadwood good spot! I've never noticed that clock before - it's actually quite high up and feels small and lost within it's architecture. I usually know where lots of the clocks are because I don't wear a watch!

Clock face is very similar to the Stockwell Memorial which would be the same period. Must have been the fashion at the time.

Here's one which I can't work out myself. I took it in April 2004 and it's awfully familiar so I'll probably kick myself - but I just can't place where it's from right now. Any idea?

The game is getting harder. This is how it should be. More kudos for calling it correct. It's all in the game.
Someone needs to get that bloody gate, i suspect it is very close to my home or up Landor Road but that is not a guess, i'm just speculating.

I thought the railings might be above the windows along the front of the building opposite the Beehive. Where The Goose used to be and it's now TKMaxx.

Is the gate St George's Residence on Railton Rd?

The other one's really familiar Was it by the Brixtonian or somewhere on Atlantic Rd?

Nope. You may kick yourself when I tell you!

Was it by the Brixtonian or somewhere on Atlantic Rd?

I really can't remember. Grr!

Morleys and Brixton Library have ironwork however I don't think it is either of those.

The old playground on Railton road/Montego place ?

My final guess is the memorial at stockwell.
