It's pretty good.

But Sainsbury will do well I suspect, especially off me, as I walk past on the school run.

Me too.

Edible sandwiches.
Fruit with prices displayed on it.
And .... American Spirit rolling tobacco that'll be a quid cheaper than at NISA.

I'll still buy straights, soft drinks and the ocassional bar of chocolate from the one at the end of Blenheim Gardens.
 
Apparently two people have been knocked down on brixton rd; buses on diversion down acre lane.
(edit: just saw there's a thread)
 
Very. The covered arcade was listed. Lambeth took it down a long time ago, promised to put it back later, reneged on promise. No surprise there. They could renege at Olympic level.
 
You can still see the bits of chopped-off metalwork projecting from the buildings in places.

Didn't know it was listed at the time it was taken down....
 
Official and actual proof that Brixton is gentrified yesterday. The good Catholic, Daily Mail reading chap I work with (who lives in Richmond) drove through Brixton last week and thought it looked lovely and vibrant :)
 
Where's minnie and the other brixton historians.

I've been looking for photos of the brixton anti poll tax riots from 1990 for someone. Came across this.

I've only got very blurry photos of the march up to the Prison :(

Hasn't Editor got any?
 
Found this when I was scanning some negatives (Nelson Mandela visit). Obviously I didn't get any pictures of Nelson as there were tall people everywhere :mad:

I think ages ago, Editor was after pics od insides of pubs (although it may have been pubs that have closed). Haven't really got many, but here's one of the bar area in the George IV. Posted this one as you can't really tell who anyone is in it.

Backstage - when the stage was centre, rather than the corner

Not sure who this lot are, but as I can't remember their names, I'm guessing they may not be locals. If you are, let me know and I'll take pic down :D

Sorry, I should have said regulars, although they may have been semi-regular.

It's quite possible (judging by other pictures I have in there at the time) that they may be Kiwi or South African. I'm wondering if the middle one is actually someone who still lives in Brixton :hmm:
 
Just been past Oval on the bus and there's been a big car crash by the business centre going towards Camberwell. A couple of cars on their side and several people on stretchers :(
