Title
Villas in Ponsonby Road
Description
Ponsonby Road in the Roehampton Village Conservation Area of Wandsworth was first laid out on the edge of Putney Heath in 1863. This view shows 6 Ponsonby Road, a detached villa at the corner of the right-angled bend in the road, opposite Holy Trinity Parish Church, which is out of view. The villa appears to have been extended early in its life, the section to the right of view having a tiled mansard roof with attic dormers, the left section shown stepped down in line with the slope of the road having hipped slate roof with a chimney stack rising between the two sections. The brick cornice and window details also show contrasting styles. The extension has since been further extended above with a tiled mansard roof and dormer resembling the right-hand section. The entrance porch, shown projecting from the extension, is enclosed with a brick pediment and slate roof. Two mature but leafless trees appear to climb against the brick elevation. Several cars are shown parked in the road including a Singer Gazelle, a Ford Cortina, and an imported Chevrolet Brookwood station wagon, its distinctive tailfins just visible beyond an Austin Mini. The house shown in the background to the right of view is Hambro House, which still stands on the corner of Medfield Street and Treville Street, the view since obscured by maturing trees on Putney Heath.
