Title
Houses on the Twickenham Embankment
Description
This three-quarter view shows the front and side elevations 23 The Embankment, a two-storey house in the Twickenham Riverside conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames built in the early eighteenth-century and undergoing extensive renovation at the time. It was Grade II listed in 1952; listing number 1080816. Part of the adjoining house at 22 The Embankment is also visible to the right of the building. Of similar age and construction, it was also Grade II listed in 1952; listing number 1358071. Behind the temporary stake fencing, there is a substantial hole in the brickwork to number 23's frontage, consistent in scale with the removal of a building extension. The two houses are set at a slight angle relative to each other, and number 22 has a traditional style dormer. In the foreground, the vacant plot with a Mercedes 250 saloon shown parked is now Flood Lane, a cul-de-sac with a public car park and pedestrian access to riverside and Church Street. Number 23 now has a restored frontage, a dormer of similar style to number 22, a restored yellow brick perimeter wall, and the trees have also been removed.
