Title
Houses in Cosser Street
Description
View of 7-15 Cosser Street, Lambeth North (formerly North Street). Renamed after Cosser & Sons, a nineteenth-century family timber business located nearby. Cosser Street runs east to west from Kennington Road to Hercules Road. On the north side of the road are early nineteenth century three-storey terrace houses. Number 10 has a shop on the ground floor, with advertisements for Nosegay tobacco, Lyons Tea, Lyons Cakes and Wills Woodbine cigarettes. To the rear of these buildings was the site of Hercules Hall built in 1788 as his home by Philip Astley, riding instructor, horse-trainer, and acknowledged as the inventor of the modern circus. These buildings have since been demolished and replaced with modern housing. A number of vehicles including a Ford Anglia are parked in the street.
