Title
Corner of Hill Rise and Ormond Road
Description
View of junction of Hill Street and Hill Rise with Ormond Road, Richmond Hill, taken from the pedestrian island on Bridge Street. Early-eighteenth century terrace of town houses on Ormond Road, including an example of the single storey trading frontages that extend some of the early properties on Hill Rise; typical of the development of this part of the Richmond Hill conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames. The corner plot to the centre of view with the painted brick retaining wall at 2 Hill Rise has a cluster of buildings shown as L’AUBERGE coffee house and restaurant. To its right is a timber gateway on the same plot for H. DEACON & SON nurserymen and florists. This corner plot has since been remodelled with a single-story modern building currently serving as a restaurant, though some of the remodelled corner wall is recognisable today. The shop at 6 Hill Rise is ROSSI’S café; a single-storey extension to an early-eighteenth century building, partly obscured from view by the two-storey timber-clad building with the hipped slate roof. 6 Hill Rise was Grade II listed in 1983; listing number 1193789. Nearest to view on Ormond Road, partly obscured by one of L’Auberge’s buildings and a leafless tree is Lissoy, a Grade II* listed house; listing number: 1065353. The early-eighteenth century houses of Ormond Terrace beyond are Grade II listed, with the exception of 3 Ormond Road, which is Grade II*, respective listing numbers: 1 and 2 Ormond Road: 1065354; 3 Ormond Road, with the full-height canted bay, and 4: 1357751; 5 Ormond Road: 1065355; 6 Ormond Road: 1065356; 7 Ormond Road: 1065357; Ormond House, five windows wide: 1065358. The typewriter shop on the opposite corner of Ormond Road is part of the Odeon Cinema in Hill Street, designed by Julian Leathart and W.R. Grainger in the Art Deco style, opened in 1930 as the Richmond Kinema, and Grade II listed in 1990; listing number: 1254263. Still operating as a cinema today, it is one of only three surviving cinemas in Britain built with Atmospheric-style interiors, this one modelled as a seventeenth-century Spanish courtyard.
