Aka Effra House and Raleigh Hall. A pair of villas dating from 1824, but now in a sorry state and on English Heritage's Heritage at Risk Register. Permission has been granted for conversion to a cultural centre, but nothing appears to have happened. It's a pity a hoarding has recently been erected as it blocks the view of the arched ground floor windows. Grade II listed. The woman sitting down couldn't have got out of shot if she'd wanted as the seats are fixed to the ground. Together with pretty much everything else in view here, they are part of a recent landscaping of the area. Perhaps word had got out that there was a spot where it was possible to take a photo without any clutter obstructing the view.
