Title
Buildings in Rectory Grove
Description
A view of the front elevations of early nineteenth-century buildings at 45-47a Rectory Grove, Clapham, and a side view of number 45. The front entrance on number 45 is reached by a small flight of steps. The house has been modernised with a front door in a Gothic style; windows have louvred shutters and iron railings border the property. To the left of number 45 are wire and metal framed gates of what was once a large laundry. Old discarded pieces of wood and wooden crates are piled beside the gates. The neighbouring two-storey number 47 contains a 'General Stores' shop front. The shop appears to have closed down as the windows have been covered in white wash and two of the window panes have been smashed. Old advertisement signs pasted to the window and the wall include 'Green Shield stamps', 'Findus', 'Smedley's' and 'Golden Shredded'. To the right of the shop are nineteenth-century engineering works premises at number 47a. Numbers 45 and 47, including the shop front, have survived, and the building has been converted into housing accomodation. Three-storey housing of c1980s was built on the site of the neighbouring industrial buildings including the Laundry (the buildings were demolished at an unknown date) and the area behind the gates.
