House in Waldegrave Park
Image: © Stefan Czapski Taken: 2 Apr 2013
One of a number of handsome old red-brick houses (built circa 1900?) which survive in Waldegrave Park. Some are still private residences, but their substantial size means that a number have now found other uses - this one is part of a school. No two seem to be alike - they differ in plan and elevation, and in the detailing of windows and doorways. Most - but not this one - have decorative terracotta panels. This one faces south, and was lit up by late afternoon sun. Fewer old houses survive on the other side of the street - most properties being of later date, and smaller.
