72-74 Gipsy Hill
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 16 Feb 2011
A jolly Arts-and-Craft-influenced building, now offices and flats, of orange brick with stone bands and decorative windows on the ground floor. Information from Lambeth Council: "former French's Dairy ... the cows grazed in French's Field at the bottom of Gipsy Hill and were driven up to the diary for milking. The milking sheds were behind in Cawnpore Street." The new flats behind, down Cawnpore Street, were built on the site of a car mechanic's workshop. The Crystal Palace television mast is in the background.
