98 - 106 Brixton Road, Brixton North, 1970  

 

A view of early Victorian houses on Brixton Road, which had just been rehabilitated after years of neglect.

Local residents' objections to the demolition of these buildings resulted in Lambeth Council's belated emphasis on improving existing housing.

Their historical and architectural merit made this task essential but their poor condition made it a difficult and expensive one.
