Then and Now: Loughborough Road
Photographic comparisons of old and modern views of Lambeth
1905 Loughborough Road, looking north, beyond the corner of Barrington Road. Just visible to the left can be seen the 'Hero of Switzerland' public house sign (I'm not quite sure what connection William Tell has with Brixton!)
