Title
Houses in Mossbury Road
Description
Front elevations of terraced and detached houses at 20-42 Mossbury Road, Battersea, looking south-east. Nearest the camera on the right at 20 Mossbury Road is the premises of F.C.Ellis, advertising Browning Beachwear Ltd on the door, and previously the premises of Fowlers Pottery. Further up the road, behind a brick wall with barbed wire, at 22-28 Mossbury Road is a building at an angle to the street. The building 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 is 30-34 Mossbury Road which appears to be residential. Further up the road is a terrace of four two-storey houses at 36-42 Mossbury Road and numbers 59-61 Mossbury Road are also seen at the end of the road. The words "No Parking" are written on the brick wall however the street is lined with parked cars including an Austin A55 Cambridge, a Ford Thames 307E van (registration MLN 283D) with a roof rack, a Renault 16, an Austin/Morris 1100/1300 Estate, Austin/Morris 1100/1300 (registration MGT 480L) and an Austin Mini.
