Description
Front elevation of terraced houses at 2-3 Patcham Terrace, Battersea, looking east from underneath the railway viaduct arches. The three-storey, brick built terrace was originally called Brighton Terrace and was built for railway workers in the 1860s. It was renamed in 1937 to distinguish it from other streets named after the seaside town, Patcham being a district in Brighton. The terrace was demolished in the late 1970s and the land was vacant until the Mercer House block of flats, part of the Battersea Exchange development, was built in the late 2010s. A Jaguar E-type (no registration plate) and a Ford Capri Mk1 (registration WUV 980G) are parked under the arches and there is scaffolding in the foreground and a stack of paving slabs.
