Title
Houses in Cartwright Gardens
Description
A view of the front elevations of terraces of houses at 50-59 Cartwright Gardens, Bloomsbury. The houses in the curved terrace have four storeys over a basement and are mostly three windows wide. The buildings are brick faced except for the ground floors which are stucco covered. In the middle of the terrace at numbers 54-56 is the Mentone Hotel. Three men are visible separately on the pavement outside the hotel. A Ford Transit van is parked outside number 58, which is scaffolded and appears to be under renovation. Three men can be seen on the scaffolding, which reaches the full height of the facade and supports a temporary roof over the building. A large pile of reclaimed London stock bricks stands on the pavement along with some scaffolding planks. Cars parked in the road include a BMC1100 salon. Designed and built by James Burton about 1809-11, numbers 46-63 Cartwright Gardens and their railings were Grade II listed in 1974, listing number 1244103. Originally named after its designer, Burton Crescent was renamed Cartwright Gardens in 1908 after the political reformer and local resident John Cartwright.
