Title
Cottages in Holly Road
Description
This view shows a terrace of two-storey cottages at 13-23 Holly Road in the Twickenham Riverside conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames. Believed to date from the mid-to-late nineteenth century, when the immediate area west of London Road was developed after the railway and the original station were constructed in 1848, they are listed locally as Buildings of Townscape Merit. Their exteriors are little altered today, although there is now a white picket fence to their front boundaries and the small gardens are more generously planted than shown. Number 23 has been slightly remodelled as the passageway shown has since become its front entrance, and its canopied door replaced with a window of similar proportion and style to the existing one. The brickwork has also been painted over. The tall building in the background at 1 Holly Road is now Grosvenor House Nursery School. Built originally in 1800 as a Methodist chapel for non-conformists, it has had various uses over the years, serving as a Sunday school, as a workshop, and more recently as offices. It is also listed locally. The single-storey shop frontage just visible in between at number 5 Holly Road is believed to have been the premises of L T Pearson (Printers) Ltd., who is believed to have traded at this address for around thirty years from the early 1950s. It has since been converted to residential use.
