Title
Buildings in Thames Street
Description
This view shows a row of buildings at 11-19 on the south side of Thames Street in the Hampton Village conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames, only one of which survives today. Number 15 to the centre of view stands today in isolation as an office building called Queen Anne House. This eighteenth-century building was Grade II listed in 1975, listing number 1252975. A sign shows Constables Boat House, believed to be a passageway between the buildings leading to the boatyards to the rear of the house. Charles Constable and successive generations of th family had boatyards both here and opposite Tagg's Island since the late nineteenth-century and the firm is still trading today in the restored boathouses behind number 15. To the left of view, number 11 is of similar scale and appears to be in residential use. It has since been demolished and provides vehicle access to the modern-day Constables Boatyard. The shop buildings of A Shephard at number 17, shown trading oils and greases, is also void space now. Beyond at number 19, near the parked Ford Consul saloon, is the entrance to what was once W G Smith's and later Simple soap works, between two buildings that once extended and joined a cluster of buildings that occupied a narrowing site leading to the riverside. The site is now occupied by a three-storey apartment block built in 1997 with period design references to the factory's brick frontage. The whitewashed flanking wall of number 23, with the downpipe and water barrel, is just visible, and number 21 the former post office is hidden from view. Both are listed locally as Buildings of Townscape Merit.
