Once home to a traditional clothes\/bric’n’brac street market that had stalls all the way from Pope’s Road to Valentia Place, these days there’s a more\u00a0diverse, but smaller set of markets<\/a> to be found. \u00a0Starting up in 2009, the farmers’ market<\/a> on Sundays is\u00a0particularly\u00a0busy and one of my faves.<\/p>\n

I’ve long been fascinated by the old railway arches on Station Road (see my archive photos from 2010<\/a> and 2001<\/a>) , and despite some modernisation, much of the old character of the street remains. Here’s some photos taken in March 2013:<\/p>\n

The eastern end of Station Road.\u00a0The empty bridge opposite has sparked a lively debate on urban75 forums: \u00a0The mystery of the railway bridge abutment at Barrington Road, Brixton<\/a>.<\/p>\n
