The white house here was the home of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, sculptor of the Victorian dinosaurs in nearby Crystal Palace Park. In his correspondence Hawkins refers to the house as "Fossil Villa". The blue plaque marks the connection (it is not one of the "official" series maintained by English Heritage, but one of a series put up by the London Borough of Bromley within its administrative area).
