"Sommers Town" is apparently the old spelling of what is now called "Somers Town". This bollard at the junction of Ossulston Street and Phoenix Road dates from 1817.

Derelict building, Phoenix Road, Somers Town. I don't know what "Supreme Confidence Founded on Cruelty" refers to. It might be the work of Abdi Nadiif (Bashaling Crew).
