This little building on Ilderton Road, that Londo, was constructed in 1927 and was until the 1960s an ambulance station. It was designed by George Topham Forrest who was the Chief Architect of London County Council. He also designed Chelsea Bridge, Lambeth Bridge and the Becontree Estate in Dagenham.

Until recently the building was used as a car repair workshop but is now falling into dereliction as it awaits demolition to make way for a shiny new block of flats (as usual).

This is the site of the proposed Old Kent Road railway station on the East London Line - so I'm not sure flats is proposed for just here. 

There is tho next door a huge and horrible slab block going up - and stuff opposite.

Thanks for posting.

This is Ford GT40, chassis number GT/102, being prepared for it's first ever race. This was the first race for a GT40 at the 1964 Nurburgring 1000kms. The car was driven by Phil Hill and Bruce McLaren. They failed to finish due to suspension problems.
