An example of an approach to providing affordable housing under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 can be found on the site of the former training establishment for gentlemen. In the distance a row of terraced houses can be seen - some of which fall within the category of 'social housing'. In the forefront of this picture is a boarded up former academy block waiting to be converted into private housing units. The road to the photographer's right - once an internal military barracks road - is now referred to as Ashmore Road and it connects Red Lion Lane with Academy Road (a.k.a. the South Circular Road or the A205), although security gates at either end of it mean that it is not a regular thoroughfare.
