1971 - "This is all artificial.. I don't feel like I'm going home anymore I always feel I'm just there temporarily"

A London Lady discusses Londoners being forced into flats which felt void of character and life during the 70s. The Doddington and Rollo Estate is a massive post-war council housing development in #Battersea, #London, built between 1967-1971 by Wandsworth Borough Council and architects Emberton, Tardrew & Partners. Now it's a yuppie space and even it's pubs have become a joke.

Charming

90s London was ten times the home to what it is now.

You've woken up to realise it was all just a bad dream.

I can hear the silence. Broken only by birdsong. 🏡

Outside the Lamb and Flag, 33 Rose St, #CoventGarden, #London, #WC2E. A site included on this coming Saturday's pub/history walking tour 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🍻

A woman's touch is a man's medicine.

A glimpse of wholesome traffic.

It's amazing what you can do if no one has ever sown the seeds of doubt by saying that you can't.

Wind from the Sea by Edward Gordon

#OnThisDay in the year 1658, a disgusting and immoral reprobate named Oliver Cromwell, who worked for nefarious forces, made the world a better place by dying. A grave fit for urine.

Men don't spend an hour applying makeup just to look like someone they're not.

Just incredible.......

Wouldn't it be nice to be resting at the Farr Lodge by the south side of Loch Insh in beautiful Scotland during the mid-1950s

How it's done. ♥️🍻

Hot take

Not only do we know how to create a heightened standard of architectural magnificence, but, contrary to the excuses of modern developers, we have absolutely no excuse not to do so.
