The first one kept getting muggled so i now have cahnbed it to a nano and rehid it very close to the old one
I have decided place this cache in an area were i grew up and used to walk to primary school every day.
If anyone else can give any more information on this building i will add it on.
.
Its placed by a very art deco building with the words Nourish and flourish embedded into the building.
The only history that i know about the building is that before it became Flats and apartments it was were Ascot made trainers and other sporting goods.
SOUTHFIELDS
Until the late 19th century Southfields was still fields, situated between the more developed villages of Wimbledon and Putney. Several of the former pathways through the fields form the routes of parts of today's road system, in particular Wimbledon Park Road and its continuation through Southfields Passage, which was the field path from Wimbledon to Wandsworth, Kimber Road and The Baulk, both of which were field paths and can be seen on old maps of the area. When the District & London & South Western Railway from Wimbledon to Putney Bridge opened in June 1889, the area started to take off, with the first school opening a year later on Merton Road, another of the main thoroughfares that were formerly paths through fields.
Once a working class enclave, the area has, like others around it, undergone a transformation in the 1990s, with house prices rising dramatically. It attracts people from all over due to its good transport links (the District Line and South West Trains), its parks and primary schools.
Southfields takes its name from the old manorial system, where it was known as the South Field of the manor of Dunsford.[2] The earlier name for the area dates back at least to the year 1247.[citation needed] The equivalent North Field lay between West Hill and the River Thames and survives in the short road named Northfields which runs to the east of Wandsworth Park
