Sisulu Place, LONDON, SW9 7NW

As seen from St.John's Crescent. This park is named after an American jazz percussionist, drummer, and composer. It was opened by him in 1986. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Roach for more details about the composer.

The Karibu Education Centre occupies this attractive classical former chapel on Gresham Road in Brixton.

Located at 45 Gresham Road, this TE used to have BRIxton and REDpost numbers until the late 1960s. Besides Brixton, this TE also serves Herne Hill nearby, and now has 0207-274, 733, 737 and 926 numbers. Looking at the brickwork and windows, this TE would appear to have been rebuilt quite recently. Its postcode is SW9 7NU.

Max Roach Park consists of four small open spaces along the eastern side of Brixton Road from Brixton to Angell Town. The park is built on land originally occupied by shops and housing and is named after Max Roach, an internationally famous jazz percussionist and composer. This part of the park between Villa Road and St John's Crescent is the largest part, and also the closest to Brixton Town Centre. The houses beyond the park are in St John's Crescent. I presume the bricks came from the original buildings or are maybe meant to show the footprint of an original building. The River Effra once ran along the eastern side of Brixton Road here and was described in the mid 19th century as "being protected by a handrail and crossed by small wooden bridges leading to the gardens of the houses scattered along its banks. The profusion of lilac, hawthorn and laburnum which grew on the river bank made this part of Brixton Road beautiful in the springtime." Within a few years though the Effra had been bricked over.

This large log cabin on Wiltshire Road is used as a day centre and playgroup club. It is on the edge of Max Roach Park. Named after an American jazz percussionist, drummer, and composer.
