Pink House creator passes away

Mr Pink outside his unique house in 2002

Mr Brenton Pink, the creator of the legendary Pink House on Loampit Hill, has reportedly passed away. On Facebook, a family friend reported the news, adding:

"Mr Pink was a very well known man to anyone who grew up in Lewisham, you would often see him outside his house talking and seeing to his plants, he would always talk to anyone who wanted to talk to him. He left behind his wife, children and grandchildren who I know will miss him terribly."

He also leaves behind a unique legacy in the shape of his eccentrically-decorated home, which combines Victorian architecture with Caribbean-rococo styling.
