Saint Agnes Place

St Agnes place was a (partially) squatted street in Kennington SE11 from 1971ish until November 30th 2005.

In that time it housed and provided refuge for 100s of people from various walks of life.

It had 2 yards where travellers could come and park and was also home to a Rasta community (see third image).

It has now been replaced by wastelands of rubble surrounded by metal grills.

St Agnes Place Benefit - 29/04/2004

At the George IVth on Brixton Hill.

This was to raise funds to try and fight the eviction of St Agnes Place as after quite a long time of peaceful occupation there threats of eviction had re-emerged.
Ultimately it all proved futile and the eviction did take place leading to this which has now turned into an even more definite piece of wasteland (I'll go take some new pictures there soon, I promise)

Some pictures post evictionm, while the destruction of this once thriving community was under way after the eviction which took place on November 29th 2005.
These would have been taken a few weeks after the eviction.

A thread about the eviction on the Urban75 boards.

The Old Yard, St Agnes Place

In the old yard at St Agnes Place.

Not the one in the corner but the other one that gave onto the bit of "common land" there behind the street.
