An old place to role your own

This place is a riot

Hi Maisie,

Are there any word lengths given? Could the first one be Holborn? (Old Holborn tobacco)

Sally

Thank you for your suggestion. The odd thing is the spelling of role - not sure if it is correct or a mi-spelling. no number of letters.
Thank you to anyone else who can help.

Hi Maisie,

A possibility is BRIXTON - I think its on the Victoria line.

Scene of major rioting in 181, 1985 and 1995 give or take a year (Brixton Riots)

Sorry that should read 1981

This Brixton riot took place in Lambeth, South London, England, on 11 April 1981. The riot resulted in almost 279* injuries to police and 45* injuries to members of the public;[1] over a hundred vehicles were burned, including 56 police vehicles; and almost 150 buildings were damaged, with thirty burned.
