It almost seems like a distant memory now, but it wasn’t that long ago that you’d find big name record shops on most High Streets around the land – like this view of Our Price Records on Brixton Road in September, 2000.
Most blokes may get all doe-eyed and moist in the crotch at the mention of quadruple-camshafted, turbo-spun, rear-view dipsticked, Porsche BigDicks, but this is the car I love the most.
The humble Morris Minor. A proper British car, with bags of style.
I fear it won’t be around for long, but this morning there was still a fair covering of snow covering Brixton, so I headed out, camera in hand.
My chilly photo tour took me around Coldharbour Lane, Loughborough Park, Brixton Station Road market, Brixton Village, Windrush Square and St Matthew’s church.
After an evening snowfall covered Brixton, I braved the elements and went for a walk around to capture some photos.
I’ll be the first to admit it’s not exactly the stuff of Arctic legend, but Brixton is currently getting its first snowfall of the year, albeit in the shape of a light dusting of the white stuff.
It may have been freezing outside, but it felt like a furnace inside the Brixton Prince Albert last night, with The Sharks burning it up on stage at the Offline Club. here’s some pics;
Brixtonites and Victoria Line users can brace themselves for yet another chuffing tube closure this weekend, with the entire Victoria Line suspended for 48 hours.
I’ve got two completely unrelated Brixton scenes for you today. The first is the sight of the cleaned up brickwork of the old Sanders & Co Jewellers shop on Brixton Road.
The hoardings are slowly coming down in readiness for the opening of a Costa Coffee shop.
It may look rather swishy now, but before being subjected to one of the longest running redevelopment schemes known to mankind, Brixton tube station used to be a really tatty affair.
We had another fantastic mixed crowd down for our DJ night at the Brixton Albert last Friday.
There’s some wintry skies over London at the moment, with the nearly finished Shard already dominating the city skyline.
The rumours circulated about a Costa Coffee opening up in Brixton back in March last year, and the new banners on the property under the railway bridge on Brixton Road suggest that they’ll be opening for business soon.
After some initial catastrophic equipment failures – to the tune of three borked CD decks and two knackered turntables (!) – things soon got lively at the Prince Albert in Brixton last night, with a full house and a great crowd.
Here’s some photos of the dancefloor action:
There’s currently delays all round thanks to this skip driver bashing his load of empty skips into the rail bridge at Barrington Road, near Coldharbour Lane, Brixton Sw9.
