Title
House in Parkshot
Description
This view shows a number of notable buildings on the north-west side of Parkshot in the Central Richmond conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames. The three-storey house at number 3 with the brick parapeted front is believed to be of early nineteenth century and was Grade II listed in 1976, listing number 1285377. The semi-detached building partly visible to its left at number 1-2 Parkshot was demolished during the 1970s and the site now occupied by an office building. The terrace of houses at 4-6 Parkshot is seen here as providing the entrance of the Salem Baptist Church, which occupied the site to the rear of these buildings until it moved to Windsor Road, Kew, in 1973. Numbers 4, 5 and 6 Parkshot were Grade II listed in 1968, listing number 1357756. The chapel, warehouse, stable buildings, and rear extensions were demolished during the late 1970s and the front elevations restored to something more like their original appearance. Number 4 is seen here as the offices of Eric C Godfrey, Signwriter. The building beyond the terrace to the right of view is the Parkshot Rooms, built c1905 on a site occupied previously by a Georgian house where the author George Eliot lodged between 1855 and 1859 and used for the offices of the Richmond Board of Guardians. The Parkshot Rooms and the adjacent public baths building were demolished during the 1970s to make way for the Richmond-upon-Thames Magistrates Court building, which is now serves as offices for the distillers William Grant & Sons Ltd. A number of vehicles are partly visible parked in the street, including a Ford Cortina and a Ford Anglia van.
