TQ3071 : 226-230 Streatham High Road

taken 14 years ago, near to Streatham, Lambeth, England

226-230 Streatham High Road
226-230 Streatham High Road
No. 230 on the left dates possibly from C18th which would make it a rare survival. Stucco, with pretty little window surrounds. Its neighbour dates from the 1930s and has a cream faience facade with decorative frames round the windows. They are within the Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill Conservation Area.
The course of Streatham High Road has been a major highway between London and Sussex since Roman times. Its current appearance is largely attributable to two major spells of development. The first was during the late C19th following the opening of Streatham Hill station in 1856, and the second was after 1911 when the line to Victoria was electrified. Though much-maligned and undoubtedly blighted by heavy traffic, closer examination reveals that the road is lined with a number of interesting buildings, some of which reflect the period between the wars when Streatham was a fashionable centre of entertainment.
