Railway viaduct over Penrose Street
The bridge is part of the "Thameslink" viaduct running south from Blackfriars. This arch has obviously been rebuild with a flat concrete soffit, presumably after being damaged by the same bomb that destroyed the adjacent power station Image Unusually there is no height warning shown.
The view also shows a bus stop and telephone box.

Large brick building on Penrose Street, Walworth
This building occupied the site of the former St John's Methodist chapel (see shared description below).
It was built as a scenic painting studio and consists of two separate studios each equipped with four paint frames upon which scenery was painted. The frames were counterweighted and descended through the floor so that the artist did not have to use ladders. Many west end shows were painted there. In the 1960s the building was shared by two companies: Stage Décor whose HQ was in Browning Hall in Browning street nearby, and Vic Mara Scenery. [information supplied by Neville Kersey]
It was itself under threat of demolition by 2015 as part of a proposed redevelopment.
