    Loughborough Junction, Brixton, Part II

    Following up on my last post I don't want people to think that Loughborough Junction is just parkland ;)
    However there is much more to find in that area than the popular press pretends it is ( which always refers to the area as a drug and crime spot )

    Here are some fotos I made this morning on my way to work.

    Fotos:

    - Jamaican shops in Coldharbour Lane
    - The "super slim" building was constructed like this because of the railway line crossing the old victorian area.

    - The train station after which the area is named ( and two of the 7 railway bridges )
    - The actual "junction", a crossroad between three railway bridges, with loughborough estate in the background
    ( the broken shop frond is the location of a former "David Greig" supermarket, ( David Greig opened his first shop down the road from here in 1870 )
    - Clockwork Studios, founded in 1900 (I think), formerly Fred Karno’s Vaudeville theatre group ( people like Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel used to practise there)
    - The Art Bridge in Cambria Road ( designed by local artists in 2014 )

Showcase UK

To promote areas of the UK you have visited with photographs of local interest and beauty spots within 5 miles, showing off the area to others with information about it..

Photos can be taken by anyone on anything from a box brownie to a high end DSLR to mobile phones and everything in between as long as you have taken them.

Absolutely no happy snaps, holiday photos or pets and children. (these will be removed}

The aim is to show what beautiful places there are in the UK and perhaps give you the urge to visit yourself.
