New arrival "The Brockley Fox" has been inspired by the discussions about Coulgate Street to create some renderings of what could be, drawing on his Cornish heritage to create a new cafe on the site that was once occupied by Speedicars. He's posted them on the Flickr page which we link to, but they deserve their own thread.

It's fantastic work and shows how dramatically an area can be transformed with only a few minor changes. They are not as far-fetched as they might look given where we are today...

We still owe you a write up of the Brockley Cross walkabout, which discussed the changes that could be made to the area, to create this kind of "step-change" which Des Kirkland from the BXAG argued passionately for on the day.
