Does anyone remember Cowper's Row at the top of Brixton Hill opposite the "Telegraph' pub? There were two cobbled lane's, one Cowper's Row, the other I forget.

Does anybody know the name of the Italian ice-cream shop in Clapham High Street in 1938? Many thanks
I remember the playground - I went for a walk past it yesterday as it happens, although I felt it had changed. I remember the big slide (I thought I had just got bigger but no it was a huge one). My grandmother would take me there, she lived on the North Side at No 78 for 46 years, leaving to decamp to Croydon of all places in 1994. How I miss Clapham, oh what wonderful days.
My brother used to live in Chelsham Rd. in Clapham, London, which runs from Gauden Rd. to Union Rd. In 1960 & 1961, I stayed with him for a week's holiday. He was on British Rail at Nine Elms. He has since passed away He used to drink in the Larkhall Tavern, in Larkhall Rise. I went back there a year ago, but couldn't find the pub. Has anyone got any memories of that area, particularly the pub & Chelsham Rd? I would love to get a photo of the Larkhall Tavern
