View of Princes Place
Description
Looking west along Princes Place, North Kensington. A number of cars are parked. In the background can be seen children playing and a woman pushing a pram. Situated in the area once known as Notting Vale, Princes Place was a street of artisans' cottages built in 1844-45. The houses were only 14 feet deep and had no rear windows as they backed onto the gardens of grand houses. Plumbing and sanitary facilities were very basic. The street was demolished in 1972 and replaced by a low rise block of flats by Octavia Hill Housing Trust. During demolition, residents were rehoused locally, and on completion they moved back into the new flats, with the same neighbours where possible, so maintaining the community. Scale plans, elevation and sections can be found on page 286, "Survey of London" Volume 38, North Kensington.
