There’s been ample debate on the urban75 bulletin boards about what’s been going on at The Angel – a traditional West Indian pub on Coldharbour Lane, Brixton that closed down last year.
The building has been sold off to multi-millionaire property developers Lexadon who have given local ‘community’ arts venture, Brick Box six months use of the building before the luxury flats arrive.
The project invited locals to paint their comments over the walls of the old pub. Much as I love a bit of public art, I have to say that it’s not the most attractive artwork I’ve seen – it looks like it should have ‘TOX 12’ sprayed all over it – but some of the comments are noteworthy.
Here’s a few photos taken in the summer rain.
“It’s a shame.”
Not sure what “Brixton Is An Experiment” is supposed to mean. It’s a community to me.
“Will This Be A Pub Again?”
Very unlikely, I fear. 🙁
