Title
Cottages and The Builders Arms in Field Lane
Description
This view shows a terrace of mid-nineteenth century cottages in Field Lane, their rear boundaries sharing an alley way connecting to a similar row of cottages in Blackmore's Grove, Teddington, in the Blackmore's Grove conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames. These former farm-worker's cottages form some of the earliest built development in the area and are associated with the author RD Blackmore (1825-1900) who owned Gomer House, which once overlooked the orchards and market gardens that used to occupy the land in the immediate locality. Field Lane was at one time called Gomer Road. It is thought that some of the original occupants may have worked on Blackmore's estate. The end of terrace cottage shown at number 52 has a tapering flanking wall, shaped to the original site, and has since had its front entrance reinstated. Also shown beyond the terrace on the corner of Bridgeman Road is The Builders Arms at 38 Field Lane, which was built in 1869 and is still trading today. All of the buildings shown are listed locally as Buildings of Townscape Merit. Also shown parked in the road are a Triumph Spitfire, a Morris Traveller, and an Opel Manta Coupe.
