Houses in Petersham Road
Description
General view of the front elevations of 81-85 Petersham Road, Richmond upon Thames. Number 85 is a two-storey, late nineteenth- to early twentieth-century property, with a five-window range plus twin dormers. There is an enclosed porch accessed by steps from the street. A low-level brick wall with wooden railings is in view and an external boiler vent can be seen at ground-floor window level. This was originally five flats. Number 83-81 is a two-storey building with timber cladding at first-floor level and large wooden doors at ground-floor level. This was known as Messum's Boathouse in the late nineteenth-century, and later became the headquarters of the Richmond Canoe Club. There is fencing beyond with evidence of building work. Number 85 has since been demolished and together with a refurbishment of 83-81, the buildings are now residential flats, with boatyards to the rear lower ground-floor levels. Cars can be seen travelling north on the Petersham Road. The buildings lie within the Richmond Hill Conservation Area.
