This row of cottages known as Railway Side marks the line of the Barnes Curve, a double track railway line built so that trains could go from Mortlake on the Richmond line to Barnes Bridge on the Hounslow Loop and eliminate reversing at Barnes. The Barnes curve opened in 1862 and was removed in 1881.
