Brixton history: Lambeth Carlton Club (Granville Arcade/Brixton Village)

editor · Jul 28, 2009

It was situated roughly where Granville Arcade is now and appears in the 1894 Ordnance Survey map.

In the 1870 edition you can see three large houses with ornamental gardens facing Coldharbour Lane, and Carlton House appears to have swallowed up the two closest to the railway bridge and been extended at the back.

In the 1898 Booth map it's marked as the Brixton Conservative Association: http://tinyurl.com/nqthou

Anyone know anything about this place? Any pics?

The challenge is on!

Granville Arcade, the last and largest of the three markets was built 1935-1938 to the design of Alfred and Vincent Burr and is named after the developer P Granville Grossman. It occupied the site of the Lambeth Carlton Club

Yes, I know that. But I want to now what the Carlton Club looked like! Pictures! Facts!

It sounds well posh (there's a Carlton Club in the city) and the houses in that strip looked huge.

Don't worry - I've got loads more.

Quite right too. If my modem wasn't fucked, I'd have got in there

editor · Jul 28, 2009

Quite a grand looking building too. If you're still game you could try and find photos of the two posh houses next door -the largest had massive gardens.

I initially thought it was that building in Effra Road as it's got similar looks (the one near Curry's).

That's too hard. I'm not sure what I'm meant to be looking for :oops:

and I'm crap at maps.

Are the buildings in Coldharbour Lane itself or opposite? Where opposite? :confused:

Minnie_the_Minx · Jul 29, 2009

Not sure what I'm looking at but it looks like this laundry might have big grounds but I'm probably looking at the wrong place

They were to the right of the Conservative Club in the Booth map (linked above).

The Walton Laundry stands on the grounds of the houses but that was built in 1904.

Minnie_the_Minx · Jul 29, 2009

maybe it was an old cottage but this looks older and it's only a drawing

ah look, you could have been shagging sheep in 1750

http://landmark.lambeth.gov.uk/display_page.asp?section=landmark&id=89

I know they're not sheep :oops:

Minnie_the_Minx · Jul 29, 2009

Too difficult. Going to drink my tea and watch Eastenders

Minnie_the_Minx · Jul 29, 2009

Maybe this lot can help?

It's interesting how much political parties were major social / cultural organisations around 1900.

Not only was the Brixton Carlton club huge, but the Brixton Liberal Club was enormous - it's the derelict building next to the Ritzy which will become the new Black Cultural Archives building.
