The Terrace, which runs alongside the Thames in Barnes in the Barnes Green conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames, has several eighteenth and nineteenth-century houses of exceptional quality. This view shows a row of houses at 15-16 The Terrace, just by Barnes Bridge Station. All were listed locally as Buildings of Townscape Merit in 1983. Number 15 is two-storeys with attic, having a full width modern dormer window and a modern single window to its first floor. Its frontage has since been remodelled to a more traditional appearance. 15A The Terrace is three-storeys and is shown with what appear to be twentieth-century ground floor door and window replacements and in need of some exterior work. It has since been renovated to a more traditional appearance, with iron railings and repainted stucco. Number 16, also three-storeys, has a ground floor bay window and retracted awning, indicating this was at one time used as a shop, but the net curtains suggest it was already in residential use. A first-floor window bay has since been added above the one shown. Partly visible to the left of view is 14 The Terrace, which today bears a blue plaque commemorating Dame Ninette De Valois (1898-2001), Founder of the Royal Ballet, who lived there in 1962-82. Both 13 and 14 The Terrace are believed to be early to mid-eighteenth century and were Grade II listed in 1951, listing number 1252885. Just visible to the right is number 16A, which at the time was a newsagent and tobacconist shop owned by a D ANDERSON. A poster board beneath a Wrigley's chewing gum dispenser showing The News of the World with the headline THE FROST MEN, with an image of the television journalist, satirical comedian and writer, David Frost (Sir David Paradine Frost OBE, 1939-2013). The property is thought to have been renumbered as 17 The Terrace and is now in residential use.
