Clapham Old Town
There are Georgian houses here of a kind to be found in just a few parts of London. I'm reminded of Lincoln, or perhaps Blandford.
A flag can be seen flying against the blue sky. The tower must, I suppose, belong to the fire station - and the flag, oddly enough, is the Red Ensign.
The bus was one of three standing at the bus terminus.

Clapham Delivery Office
With the words "Postmens Office" above the red door, and a plaque with the date 1902 in fanciful script, this rather charming little building is beside the right-angled bend on Venn Street, beside Sedley Place. This wasn't really the time of day for this photo with the sun low behind the subject.
