Photos of Vauxhall South London in the 1980s

Vauxhall Grove, Vauxhall, Lambeth, 1989

Within the Nineteen Eighties, Peter Marshall was south of the River Thames taking images in central London’s Vauxhall.

Marshall consists of views of the now erased 9 Elms Chilly Retailer, the large, windowless Lubyanka that stood from 1964 to 1999. Billed at its opening as “Europe’s most trendy chilly retailer”, the 2 million cubic ft of storage may maintain greater than 16,000 tons of meals. When the butter moved out in 1979, the place turned a homosexual cruising floor, a recording studio and, as legend has it, a venue for satan worship. It was demolished within the 90s for the execrable St George Wharf.

Don’t Panic, St Agnes’s Place, Vauxhall, Lambeth, 1984

Don’t Panic!’ is sweet recommendation, although not all the time simple to observe. It maybe was helpful to the residents of the road when Lambeth Council have been making an attempt to evict them. That they had made their first try in 1977 however have been solely actually succesful in 2005.

In-built 1964 on a website the place the South Metropolitan Fuel Works had closed in 1956 to carry round 2 million cubic ft of frozen meals, with a 90ft jetty for barges on the Thames, rail throughout the highway and huge lorries. Closed in 1979 it stood largely empty for round 20 years earlier than demolition. Changed from 2003 by the moderately much less enticing St George Wharf improvement of expenisve flats with the 590 ft St Georges Tower, clearly in lots of respects a planning error.

At left is the railway line from Vauxhall to Waterloo. I took a number of footage of those boys, who, as my mom would have mentioned, have been clearly as much as no good. This was both on Tinworth St or Black Prince Street, each of which have modified significantly.

“If Cats and Canines
Birds and Bees
Flying Issues and
Creeping Issues
Issues In The Sea
And All Creatures
Might Communicate They Would
Inform You Man You Is The Solely Beast
Right here Dwell The Two
Olive Bushes And The
Two Candlesticks
Standing Earlier than
The Most Excessive
Of The Earth
Woe Unto The
Beast That Hurt Them Woe
Haile Selassie I
I Am The Phrase”
