Bicycle Tag of bike

About the new tag:

The relief in the picture is older than the building around it and was reused in the new building because they shared the same basic purpose, although the people in the new building may have been less shabbily dressed.

Both the old and new were built by the same family, who made their money from making a good thing go bad (to stop good things going bad).

The man who founded the new building was also a footballer and a poet. As a footballer, his most famous match was played just half a mile away from this tag (at a sporting venue still famous but not for football) . One of his poems is still regularly read - by potentially very dangerous people.

Like one of my other recent tags, the new building is now home to people who aspire to not being dangerous.

Picking this up will be no easy task

Typo in your first word, methinks.

Aye, it's missing an L.

'Zactly :-)
But I'm stuffed if I can find it.
Been all round South Lambeth Road, Tanner Street, Roper Street.....
Well... on Streetview anyways.

The family business was on South Lambeth Road for a long time. A bomb hit it in 1941 but mostly damaged the family living quarters, not the business itself.

Hard as it is to believe, I actually recognised this from my south London commuting days - didn’t know the backstory. Fantastic that this building has been ... preserved.

Heh. I'm not sure, but I get the feeling some people may think the tag was the family business, so just to be clear, this building was always a philanthropic project.

Today would have been a much more appropriate day to tag this building than yesterday. The institution's founder very much believed in the value of a father's advice.

Lambeth Bridge a regular part of your route? That road is a handy shortcut. The tag's founder was the local MP for a while (first liberal MP for the district), so he probably spent a fair bit of time going back and forth across Lambeth Bridge himself.

Old: Site of a satanic shrine, put there by Mr Kipling of Coleman's mustard fame, Black Prince Road.

New; if this is a retag I have a back up, couldn't see it on the map or find it by search.
It's not in Hackney. #keepitcentral.

Clue: When a day that you happen to know is Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere.

Stepping back from the mirror universe,we have the Beaufoy Institute, Mark Hanbury Beaufoy, the Beaufoy Vinegar Yard and Leaves from a Beech Tree, a history of the Beaufoy family. Vinegar, football, Kennington Oval, ragged schools etc.

Nothing about cakes or mustard though?

Not part of my clues. I suspect WiganWill worked out the geographical location from my last clue and then just added some jokes.

It was when I was in Brixton. It’s an intriguing area in its way - I think the old Doulton works are at the top of the street

Wonder how much of the Beaufoy Institute is useable now.

The new tag, well, opposite the new tag, has a link to recent tag of mine that had a geographical link to another, very recent, tag of mine.

Found it- though more through some solid google street view work than anything else. My interpretation of the clue took me somewhere different. Will try and retrofit the answer!

It's a book and a film. And a location.

Yep - but I ended up at a square at the end of a street with the same name as the author or a tiny Lane in north London that’s apparently mentioned in the book. Not a problem - am time rich even if I’m largely tied to the house. Will ponder some more

It's all good. I think there's an interesting Phd to be had out of how clues look to the person setting them and how they look to everyone else.

Senate, seen it, sorted.

Indeed - good to have a reason to fire up my few remaining brain cells

a few films, and a few tv and a radio drama series too.

If I get my shit together today, I'm going to wander round the area and see where it is as streetview is not yielding anything.

Really,
