Say hello to Barratt Homes' 'Brixton Square' on Coldharbour Lane (old Cooltan site)

Hey people, lay off Stoke! It has its positives*!!

*unable to think of any right now but feel duty bound to defend it....

I'm descended on my dad's side from Potteries folk and Stokies. That part of Staffs has the highest distribution of my surname of anywhere in the UK, but I still believe that Stoke and the Potteries are G-dforsaken shitholes. :)

They are.... but they are no more shit-holey than many other places in the UK, IMO. And the potteries are interesting and important parts of Britain's industrial history, so they have more going for them than lots of places.

Which is all a bit damned by faint praise, but you see what I'm trying to do :)

Fair dos. Shithole-ism is relative. :)
 
This place in Southwyck House looks like remarkably good value when compared to other property locally.
1250sqft, 4/5 beds, a south facing garden and a garage for 280K.
 
On the way back from VP's hospital appointment yesterday, the minicab passed the back of "Brixton Square".

One line from Rowan Atkinson's song in praise of Michael Fish: "...So if you feel like giving up on life and moving into a Barratt home..."

The gates are up and Brixton has just acquired two new place names, Milles Square and Carney Place.

A more likely candidate for commemoration by the newly arrived residents of Carney Place, London SW9?

I recently noticed, by the way, that the Loughborough Estate is also a gated community with the big green spaces in between the blocks fenced off for residents' use only.
