Title
Houses in Battersea Church Road, rear view
Description
Taken from the rear of 169-171 Battersea Church Road, this shows a view of three-storey nineteenth-century properties that are semi-derelict. The foreground of the photograph appears to be waste ground, showing dilapidated lean-to extensions at the rear of the terrace, where there is wire fencing and overgrown shrubs. A car can be seen parked in front of a metal gate next to the terrace. On the other side of Battersea Church Road can be seen Valiant House, built in 1971 by Stefan Zins Associates on the site of concrete works at Valiant Wharf. This terrace was 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. It was 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.
