Title
Poynders Court in Poynders Road
Description
This view shows Poynders Court, which comprises three blocks of four-storey flats built in rows during the late 1930s on the site of Bloomfields, one of the substantial Victorian villas that formed Thomas Cubbitt’s (1788-1855) Clapham Park estate development. Shown nearing completion, the grounds still have construction materials stacked around the buildings, and a large sign over the estate’s boundary fence shows ‘POYNDERS COURT. FLATS TO BE LET’ with associated details. The brick fronted flats have uniform rows of Crittall steel framed windows and two curved full height stair bays with matching curved steel framed windows. The fence, gateway, and mature trees in front of the flats are thought to have belonged to the former Bloomfields grounds. Still standing today, Poynders Court lacks the ocean liner styling and sweeping stucco balconies of the nearby 1930s flats of the Oaklands Estate conservation area of Lambeth. Also shown, two saloon cars parked in the street and a bicycle leaning against the boundary fence.
