Could this be Nicholson House which I have just posted in Lion Street? And is that the white shop in Lion Street down on the left? I didn't know it was called Nicholson House; the only Nicholson House of which I was aware is one of the LCC blocks on Brandon Street. But no, the Lion Street photo was...

Hello, Ian. So the first question is: in what bit of Alscot Road did my mum live? kiwi's right - № 78 was in the bit of Alscot Road that was south of Southwark Park Road.
