Former water tower, Renfrew Road
Built to serve Lambeth Workhouse in 1877 by Fowler & Hill in a Venetian Gothic style with mighty buttresses and crowned by a large metal tank. The surrounding area was in the process of being converted into flats, and it looked as if the tower was at least being attended to, but it is currently on English Heritage's Heritage at Risk Register. A challenging building for which to find a new use. Grade II listed. Fellow Geographer, Terry Robinson, tells me that the conversion of this tower into a nine-storey private residence was recently (October 2012) related in an episode of Channel 4's Grand Designs.

Covered washing line
I am unsure whether the building shown here - with washing hung beneath its roof - is part of the original workhouse/hospital - see Image - or part of the new development but using period architectural ironwork.

Former Lambeth Hospital, Brook Drive
In fact built as the central block of Lambeth Workhouse in 1870-71. Given its function, a surprisingly flamboyant affair of yellow stock brick with red brick, stone and terracotta dressings. Grade II listed. Much of the workhouse has since gone, what remained was subsumed into Lambeth Infirmary, and is now being converted into flats.
