Front elevations of detached and terraced houses at 6-28 Mossbury Road, Battersea, looking south-west towards Falcon Road. Partial view of 30 Mossbury Road on the left which appears to be residential. The next building, at 22-28 Mossbury Road at an angle to the street, was originally a villa called The Chestnuts which was built before the railway (The Chestnuts may have been the home of James Bogle Smith between 1822 and 1867, who was described as the London representative of Liverpool shipping firm of William Smith & Son in 1837). When the railways arrived most of the villas on Lavender Hill, which were surrounded by gardens that were described as “among the best cultivated and most fruitful’ in the vicinity” were demolished but The Chestnuts somehow survived. The building appears to have been extended and converted to industrial use as there is a large wooden door and an open window on the first floor with an iron support above extending out. Next at 20 Mossbury Road are the premises of F.C.Ellis and previously the premises of Fowlers Pottery. The remainder of the street is a terrace of seven two-storey houses numbered 6-18 Mossbury Road. In the distance, with a cupola, is the side elevation of Hardy & Co at 276 Lavender Hill on the corner of Falcon Road. Cars are parked along both sides of the road. 174-176 Falcon Road can be seen at the end of the road. The words "No Parking" are written on the wall topped with barbed wire, however the street is lined with parked cars on both sides including a Austin A55 Cambridge, an Austin 1100/1300 estate (registration KKL 616E) parked in the drive, a Ford Thames 307E van (registration MLN 283D) with a roof rack, a Renault 16, an Austin/Morris 1100/1300 Estate, an Austin/Morris 1100/1300, an Austin Mini, a Bedford HA (Beagle) van and a Ford Cortina Mk I.
