Albert asleep in the shade of a parked car. Albert is no longer with us. He was often seen perched on top of wheelie bins on windowsills or sprawled in front gardens. He seemed to have been around for ever and would often respond to the petting of passers by. His owner would leave up signs for people to stop feeding him as he was not well in later life and was on a 'strict' diet. I called him Adolf, before I knew he was called Albert.
This scene caught my attention because there is something comically sexual underlying the elements within it. The air con units and fire exit doors belong to a popular nightclub.
I like this graffiti. It is a particlualy rich and vibrant example found on the west side of Brixton Road, heading north of central Brixton. The e-bike and passing figure give it context and scale that was lost without them.
This is a phone photo of the once infamous Railway Hotel, now a restaurant. The railway line that passes over the bridges once had a stop at Barrington Road in Brixton. It was closed in the 1950s.
Sunken gate post, Ratray Road Brixton.
This gate represents an archaeological event in action. Many of the traces of remains found on archaeological sites are difficult to interpret especially when the original materials have decomposed to little more than coloured staining in the ground. The sinking of the gate post here is the kind of event that could leave baffling evidence if and when the event reaches its natural state of decay. I think the right hand post is rotting below ground level causing the gates to misalign.
