Title
Roehampton Court Flats in Queen's Ride
Description
An view of 1-28, Roehampton Court Flats, Queen's Ride, Barnes, Richmond upon Thames. The seven-storey block of flats appears to be nearing construction. There is scaffolding on the front elevation where two men on ladders can be seen working on the fifth-floor windows. The lower-level flats have yet to have their windows installed. There are two large metal containers visible in a fourth-floor lounge window and a man is behind a balcony barrier on the third floor. Three single-storey builders' huts can be seen in front of the flats with a boundary fence in the foreground. There is a street lamp and the rear of a rectangular direction sign in view. The triangle of land on which the flats have been erected, once housed Barnes Workhouse, built in 1778. This closed in 1836 and the site became a market garden and later a hotel. The former Manor House Hotel was demolished and replaced by Roehampton Court Flats in the early 1970s. The money raised and invested from the sale of the land to build the flats is still managed today by the Barnes Workhouse Trust and used for local good causes. The land lies within the Barnes Common Conservation Area.
