Title
Vacant site in Palace Road
Description
The Roupell family acquired land in northern Streatham during the early nineteenth century and by the mid-to-late 1800s had developed an estate of substantial detached suburban villas to attract affluent owners. Palace Road was a private road until the 1970s, after which most of the former estate was redeveloped and only a few of the original villas survive. This view is thought to look southwards across Palace Road to a vacant site, bound by corrugated sheet fencing. Leafless mature trees survive from the villas’ front gardens, beyond which are shown the rear of the 1930s semi-detached houses with hipped roofs on Wavertree Road. The site is now occupied by the Bushell Close area of the Palace Road housing estate.
