Title
Derelict terrace, Battersea Church Road
Description
This photograph is a view of a terrace of properties at 175-185 Battersea Church Road, all in a state of dereliction. A mix of commercial ground floor properties with residential accommodation above, at the date of the photograph many of the properties lack windows and those that remain are smashed, and ground floor premises are boarded up with corrugated iron. Nos. 175-179 were demolished in the late 1970s for the development of the Althorpe Grove estate, designed by Nicholas Wood of the GLC Architecture Department's Housing Branch. They were replaced by Wood's distinctive terrace of residential properties which include architectural features such as inverted arches under the windows and cast concrete portrait heads on the sides of the buildings. The properties to the right of the photograph, including at 181, the premises for Defoe Press, were not demolished but retained in the scheme, becoming residential properties.
