MISCELLANEOUS IMAGES

1. The area as seen in the film Alfie (1966).

"...Some truly shocking 1970s architecture, The Brixton Recreation Centre and Multi Story Car Park have all but transformed the right hand [side of this] view. However, the left side of the picture (railway arches and stalls), with good old Marks and Spencer’s roof top dome in the distance, is much the same as 1966..."

3. The front cover of the MGM Press Book for the film. (Courtesy of Chris Green.)
