Then and Now: Brixton Road and Ferndale Road
Photographic comparisons of old and modern views of Lambeth

Junction of Brixton Road and Ferndale Road, Brixton featuring Quin and Axtens and Bon Marche, Brixton

1910 Brixton Road, looking north. Quin & Axtens, department Store, is seen in the background on the left, with Cooper & Son's tailoring shop opposite. Everyone in the photograph is wearing a hat of some kind - note the top hatted gentlemen to the left and the man with a bowler hat to the far right. A passing Stockwell-bound open topped bus bears a large advert extolling the virtues of 'Epp's Cocoa - grateful and comforting'.

Junction of Brixton Road and Ferndale Road, Brixton

June 2004 The Quin & Axtens department store was destroyed in May 1941 and the refurbished building now serves as mixed use office/retail space. The old boot shop is now the Beehive public house. Hats fell out of fashion in the 1950s, although if you look hard you can just make out a solitary baseball cap to the right!
