On this free guided tour of Brixton Windmill you will see two sets of millstones – the original wind-powered machinery, and the smaller stones installed by the Ashby family in 1902 that were driven by steam.

The walk follows a once-rural street pattern and traces the 19th-century development of the area’s farmland for housing, prison and clean water supply.

Park Hill on Streatham Common, was built in c.1830 by William Leaf a banker and silk merchant. Henry Tate, the sugar magnate (Tate and Lyle), lived here from 1885.

A walk led by Alan Piper exploring Coldharbour Lan and the streets off it eastward from Loughborough Junction.
