Title
View of Webber Street
Description
View of buildings on Webber Street, Lambeth, on the corner of Caffyn Street. A three-storey building with a basement enclosed by railings. On the door is a sign for ESTATE OFFICE, and outside is a gas lamp with WEBBER STREET on one side and CAFFYN STREET on the other. A sign on a hoarding advertises GEORGE NEWTON BUILDER and CONTRACTOR on the street corner. The three-storey buildings on Webber Street and Caffyn Street are empty and enclosed by fencing. In the eighteenth century, this site was occupied by a garden and part of the Lambeth Manor called Chalcroft Meadow. The site was built over by Samuel Short, a carpenter whose name is still commemorated by Short Street on the borough boundary with Southwark. By 1900 these properties were in need of rebuilding and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, who by this time owned the land, decided to redevelop the area between Mitre Road, Ufford Street, Webber Street and Short Street. A small estate was laid out on this site which is unchanged today and is part of the Mitre Street and Ufford Road Conservatoin Area. Caffyn Street no longer exists.
