I suppose it's about what you consider new. It looks more in keeping with the 'old' Loughborough estate, which was also post-war architecture.

Got you there - the old Loughborough Estate as built before 1939! In any case I expect a Herne Hill resident would hardly be expected to know that us locals commonly refer to Old Loughborough or New Lougborough as a matter of convenience and orientation. Get your social housing history sorted. Up the workers and down with the bourgeoisie!
Ashby House is given as built in 1932 according to the London Picture archive

I beg your pardon? You have absolutely no idea where I live. Neither do you know anything about my class.

The Peter Shorinwa Community Centre was referred to up thread some time back. I had not appreciated the magnificence of it.
Is Peter still with us? Surely such signature appreciation is reserved for those who have departed?

Looks like the former rent office outside Ashby House to me. But I've not visited Ashby House for a couple of years.
I obtained the photo by Googling what is written on the outside now.

Yes could be right. I never really have reason to go into the estate.

Mostly a new Juice shop but one that does coffee as well. And nice juice too.
