Well they were spot on about securing your outdoor furniture in high winds, I watched as the wind picked up garden furniture and threw it against the patio door smashing the glass , thank God no one was underneath as all the glass came crashing down from the 5th floor.

Here's how it looks today

In photos: Somerleyton Road, Somerleyton Passage, Book Shop Brixton, street art and run-down buildings
While most of Brixton accelerates into hyper-gentrification, Somerleyton Road and Somerleyton Passage remain stuck in limbo, as various redevelopment plans have stalled.

What's all this about the new development by Milegate/DN Capiital then?Here's how it looks today

There is a large sign on the frozen fish place - though you haven't shown it.
I notice that Mr David Nourani - a mere whippersnapper at 36 - has a nest of companies registered at 20 Somerleyton Road

DN Capital Property Ltd, which is supposed to be developing the site, has capital of only a hundred pounds.
I pointed out in an earlier post that Milegate had been involved in the site Jerry Knight developed as Brewdog etc. It could still be that Lambeth's favourite developer gets to do Somerleyton Road. Mr Nourari clealry will find his hundred pounds won't go far.
His LinkedIn is interesting. A mathematician turned fish merchant. Can't be many of those around. https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-nourani-09227775/?originalSubdomain=uk

Capital might be share capital, so not necessarily a useful piece of information. You need to look at the accounts to see what they have access to, if anything.What's all this about the new development by Milegate/DN Capiital then?

Indeed. Company incorporated July last year. No accounts filed so far - obviously.

The very odd thing is that the company;s registered address is next to Bishops Avenue - Millionaires Row. All very odd. A fish wholesalers turned property developer with share capital of one hundred pounds and an official address next to Millionaires Row.
Further the director of Milegate and DN Capital has a B.Sc from University College London, and an M.Sc from Oxford - and is running his enterprise from Somerleyton Road, Brixton. Is Brixton going up in the world or is something fishy going on?,

I don't think there's currently enough information to say whether this is dubious or not, but certainly curious and worth keeping an eye on.Indeed. Company incorporated July last year. No accounts filed so far - obviously.

I was so fascinated by this topic I've got a photo now. 16 Somerleyton Road used to be a chocolate factory of some kind in the 1970s. Supplied own brand stuff to people like Harrods apparently.
I got to roam around in that building a lot in the mid 1990s. No 20 was squatted by an artisan Dutchman who make furniture and stuff - woodwork. No 18 was squatted by a Pocomania Church run by Bishop Jack Jones of Talma Road - who subsequently died of AIDS. He was prone to heavy drinking, and I remember him threatening "I will run you outa Brixton!" - in the Angell Pub in Coldharbour Lane (now Mama Dough). Not sure what I said to him - maybe I didn't stand my round!
Footnote: Pocomania - I'm sure a lot of people won't be familiar. Even a visit to the religious section of the Horniman Museum just gives a static display.
Here is a Youtube video from Jamaica, which is exactly like what Bishop Jones and his affiliate Bishop McGilveray from Harlsden used to do in 18 Somerleyton Road - and St Vincent's Hall in Talma Road too.

I suppose they could just have a referendum? I mean the bids COULD be put on-line, and they could have a collective Zoom call for Windrush Ward where the bidders extol their own virtues.
I expect though the process they have chosen will instead be verry cognitive of "commercial confidentiality" and also how they can only chose this one or that one because of certain national and local policy requirements.
In short to me this seems to merit considerable skepticism. Curiously it also seems to be ANTI-Brixton Green - which if I remember correctly was chaired by someone who regenerated Coal Drops Yard in Kings Cross single-handedly and also had a senior board member who regenerated schools. We don't want any of that in Somerleyton Road do we?
