The shop is likely to be listed in annual Trade Directories of the era such as Kelly's. The archives at Minet hold copies for moat interwar years. Finding them does depend on Thomas having traded under the Lovelock name.Hello. With the death of erstwhile Brixton resident James Lovelock, two days ago, I have been reading his obituaries and it has stoked an interest in his old haunts. He was born in Letchworth but then moved with his parents to Brixton where he attended The Strand Grammar school. There is a lot of interesting history about it on its Wikipedia page (Strand School - Wikipedia particularly interesting are the connection with Dick Shepard and Tulse Hill Schools and Thatcher's role in it all). It still stands on Elm Park Road, at the intersection with Craignair Road and is currently called Elm Court school, for pupils with learning difficulties.
What I cannot discover, and why I'm here, is where his parents art/framing shop was. They were called Tom and Nellie Lovelock and ran a framing shoping somewhere in Brixton in the 20s and 30s? perhaps longer than that, not really sure. Does anyone know any more than this? I'd be particularly keen to know the address.

Take a screenshot!(edit - oops. tried to post a photo from flickr, but it's currently set on 'friends only' or whatever they call it.)
I remember going in once or twice shortly after moving to Coldharbour Lane.A rare photo of the Crown/Mucky Duck (now Co Op on Coldharbour Lane). Shame it's got shitty watermarks all over it.

*edit: looks later than 1930s to me...
Slightly concerned that Urban is turning into one of those Facebook nostalgia groups, but hopefully not quite so prone to casual racism.
I think we'll be ok seeing as most of the stuff posted is from the Victorian/Edwardian period. Even urbanites aren't that old.Slightly concerned that Urban is turning into one of those Facebook nostalgia groups, but hopefully not quite so prone to casual racism.
1938 advert. £25 was a fair bit of wonga back in the day.

Does this do it? (there is a language box top right)Brixton event 30 years ago related to current issues in Belgrade this year, so not just nostalgia.
Sorry I don't know how to post up a translation (Google translate gives some odd sentances like -going for a drive = coming out. But you get the gist)
Oh well. If you look at the top of the page there is a box with "Lar" in it.Does this do it? (there is a language box top right)
