If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I think that this is a photo of the (then) newly built John Perrin Place flats. This unremarkable construction was built on the site of the centuries old Lyon's Farm, which was torn down for the purpose.
The farm was once the property of John Lyon of Preston, the yeoman farmer and landowner who founded Harrow School (originally intended as a place of learning for the poor of the parish.)
Who John Perrin was, I have absolutely no idea. Probably some puffed up local councillor.
