The modern community centre occupies roughly the site of the long-vanished Sussex Road Mission Hall (part of the Anglican parish of St John, Angell Town). It was still in use as of 1961 according to a document on the Diocesan file, but demolished when the area was redeveloped in the 1970s. Sussex Road was roughly on the alignment of the present Corry Drive Image, and existed, with terraced houses, by the time of the 1861 census, according to genealogy websites. It was part of the “Lambeth Wick” estate taken from Lord Holland’s estate.
