1905 Coldharbour Lane, looking west past the junction with Loughborough Road. To the right you can see Brown and Son, hosiers at No.228, offering 'Special Value in White Shirts', witch are Knocking out at 3/6 each or 10 bob (50p) for three.
March 2006 Sad to say, but Loughborough Junction remains a miserable, run down area in 2006. The Warrior (aka The Junction) closed in 2003 with much of the building being converted to - you've guessed it - flats (see: lost pubs of Brixton at www.Urban75.org)
1905 Loughborough Road, looking north, beyon 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)
April 2003 A century later and the scene has changed out of all recognition. The entire area was demolished and rebuilt as the loughbrough Estate, designed by London County Council in the 1950's. The pub also rebuild, but the sign remains!
