Description
This view shows a row of two-storey terraced cottages that once stood on the east side of 54-60 Fifth Cross Road, Twickenham. They are believed to have been built in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and once looked across to open fields before interwar development. They were demolished in the mid-1970s to create a residential cul-de-sac called Appleby Close. The cottages are shown with white rendered frontages with single windows to each floor, and a slate hipped roof with three brick chimney stacks. The shallow front gardens have picket fences to their front boundaries. The adjacent house just visible to the right of view is believed to be 1930s on a site occupied previously by the glasshouses of a nursery.
