Loughborough Park, Brixton, c. 1921


Loughborough Park, Brixton, c. 1921

The railway bridge in the background is labelled 'East Brixton Station', which was originally Loughborough Park. It closed in 1976.

 

Loughborough Park was originally a Y-shaped road. The branch facing in this view was renamed Moorland Road in the 1970s.

The large semi-detached houses on the right have survived but all the houses on the opposite side of Moorland Road have been demolished and replaced by council housing, with the notorious Southwick House at the end of the road where it joins Coldharbour Lane.
