RAILTON PASSAGE
Aka Pullen's Alley or to give its original name Vyse's Alley named after Thomas
Vyse, who owned the land in that area before the station was opened in 1862.
Following a local campaign the Brixton Area Committee awarded £8k to close the Alley in view of the crime levels and its a good get away route.
It is a right of way but recent legislation empowered local authorities a fast track closure. There is planning application in for the gates either end.
Locals and residents have ideas to enhance the green and grotty space and Network Rail have indicated that they would make the banking available.
