Description
A side view of the doorways at 1-2 Laurence Pountney Hill, City of London. Flamboyant shell-like pediments can be seen over the doorway with further ornate Baroque details such as lions on the brackets, foliage and cherubs with the doorbells set in the stonework. This small street is named after the church of St Laurence Pountney, which was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. Iron railings lead up the steps and panels for occupants including Bolling and Lowe Limited are visible. The house was originally built by the carpenter and master builder Thomas Denning for merchants in 1703, in the Queen Anne style. The pair of houses at 1-2 Laurence Pountney Hill still survives. They were Grade II* listed in 1950; List Entry Number: 1359204.
