Bradys of Brixton

Originally called the Railway Hotel (it's opposite the station) it became Bradys in 1991. Famous for being a spit and sawdust late night music and drinking venue, seeing bands and DJ's alike doing their stuff until the early hours mainly at weekends, but not unheard of to give it a twist on a school night too.
It's rumoured that Jimi Hendrix used to jam here after playing Gigs in town, even I'm too young to confirm this, but I certainly used to see Brixton band the Alabama3 play here regularly in the early 90's.
As with many places with character in Brixton it closed down, got squatted, had a short lived revival before sadly being closed down again. It sits on the corner of Electric lane and Atlantic Road looking rather dishevelled and sad, but by many, never forgotten for the great place it once was.

Brixton Market

Electric Avenue is probably the most famous part of Brixton Market to those that aren't local. Linking Brixton Road (High Street) and Atlantic Road it mainly consists of Fruit and Veg stalls and a mixture of Caribbean and Asian food and fabric shops.
Running off Electric Avenue is a series of covered arcades selling bargains ranging from clothes, fish, meat, restaurants, watches, phones, music, cameras, recently a popcorn and candy floss stall and even a tattooist.
A rather less vibrant side to the market lies in Brixton station Road where you'll find second hand clothes and electical goods, "ask no questions, get told no lies" is the general attitude to adopt here!
All togther a fantastic market with a wonderful atmosphere and never short of music and smiles where ever you wander.

Brixton Windmill

Brixton Windmill was built in 1816, and worked by mill until 1817. Leased by by John Ashby in 1863.The Ashby family operated the mill producing stone-ground wholemeal flour. It is around this time it became known as Ashby Mill.
In 1902, when the lease on the mill expired, a steam engine was fitted to power it. This was later replaced by a gas engine. The mill was finally closed down in 1934.
It was originally painted with tar to give protection against the weather - hence the black colour of the brickwork. The only original feature remaining is the cast iron windshaft, the sails and machinery having been replaced after a propsal for it to be demolished in the 1946 had been rejected.
In 1951, it was listed as a Grade II building, and remains on English Heritage's 'Buildings at Risk' register.
The Windmill was handed over to Lambeth Council in 1971. At present, besides grassed open space and trees, Windmill Gardens has a children's playground and a One O'Clock Club.
In April 2003 "friends of Windmill gardens" was formed with the aim to restore the mill and surrounding area as a public amenity. September the following year saw an archaeological dig organised with the Museum of London and a generous grant donated from Lambeth Council. An application for a grant from the Heritage Lottery fund as also been submitted.
