Description
Colour photograph of Ferndale Road, Brixton, showing the demolition of 1-10 Ferndale Court with scaffolding. Behind is a crane with a sign which reads WATCH IT COME DOWN; the motto of the Syd Bishop & Sons demolition company (that continues to trade). In the foreground is part of the block of 11-40 Ferndale Court with all windows boarded up. In the background, part of the block 121-150 Ferndale Court is visible. These were flats for the City of London Police. The foundation stone was laid by the Lord Mayor on December 16 1927, and the buildings were opened on October 11 1929. The architect was Sydney Perks and the contractors were Cropley Bros. The site of the demolished block is now an open public space, and the other blocks are Lambeth social housing, known as the Edmundsbury Estate. There is a pillar box on the pavement which is covered in snow.
