Title
Row of cottages on Twickenham Green
Description
This view taken from Twickenham Green shows the row of two-storey artisans' cottages of mixed style and grouping at numbers 11-19 First Cross Road in the Twickenham Green conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames. They are all listed locally as Buildings of Townscape Merit. Believed to have been built in the early nineteenth century they have long narrow rear gardens and once overlooked Workhouse Allotment, created when the land, formerly part of Hounslow Heath, was first enclosed in 1818. First Cross Road used to be called Workhouse Road and the workhouse itself once stood across the former Hanworth and Twickenham Road to the north. The workhouse was demolished in 1845 and the allotment was sold to Twickenham Town Council for recreational use. Also shown to the right of view is the former Holy Trinity Church Institute building, which is now the Jack & Jill School Nursery & Pre-Preparatory. There appears to be an estate agent's stakeboard to the front of the building. The trees shown, two of a number surrounding The Green, are thought to have been planted in around 1872. The hedge shown has since been replaced by a low double rail fence.
