Brixton, where Vincent had a room at the top that he loved.

I don’t need to tell you what Brixton is today.

It’s Yardie country. Dangerous.

But it wasn’t like that in Vincent’s time.

And 1873, this was a prosperous middle-class suburb.

when a postman, a Van Gogh obsessive called Paul Chalcroft tracked him down to this house.

Chalcroft was on strike at that time, getting ready for the three-day week with lots of hours on his hands.

There’s a Mrs Smith living here now.

And I imagine it was a heck of a surprise when the striking postman knocked on her door and told her that Van Gogh lived here.
