Lynn AC Boxing Club building (formerly a public library and baths) on Wells Way. Lynn AC is Britain’s oldest continuing amateur club, formed in ‘The Sausage, Potato and Onions Café’ in Borough High Street in 1892. They moved to their current premises in 1981.

Wells Way, North Camberwell Library is on the left of the building and the Baths and Wash-house on the right.

Never realised that is the Samuel Jones butterfly.
