Quiz: where in Brixton is this?

Sheeeet.....about 6 years ago I went round Brixton and took about 200 photos trying to do just this - a little local photo quiz. Close-ups (the question) followed by a wider angle shot (which was the answer.) I used to try it out on stoned & drunk people who visited my gaff. I forgot to ever post it here. I'll post up some of the pics if I can get my old computer to work!
 
I went through my old 'quiz' photos last night - given the amount of photos we've all shared on here over the years, and how much Brixton has been photographed/painted etc in recent years, some of them now look incredibly easy. However, I still have plenty which I think will test even the most old skool of Brixtonites....

Watch this space!
 
Here's a few easy ones to start off with:

The sculpture is the Angell Town angel, located where Peckford Place meets Angell Road. It is one of several "not as good as they should be" bits of public art inflicted on Brixton by Jason Gibilaro.
Pleasantly surprised it has hasn't stolen for scrap yet.

It's a shame that when all the Brixton Challenge money was sloshing around, they didn't manage to restore the mouldings on top of the Ferndale Road Bon Marche/Post Office tower - it looks a bit too stark now.

I didn't know that the creator of this, Jason Gibilaro, also did the Barrington Road mural and 'B OUR GUEST' - cheers for that :)

It took me a while to notice the difference between the two photos, but yes, I agree. The newer windows look rubbish as well.
