The Tate Library is seen here across Pinfold Road with Streatham High Road to the left. The Tate Library was erected in 1890 as a gift to the people of Streatham by Sir Henry Tate, the sugar magnate of Tate & Lyle. He lived in Park Hill, a large house which is now St Michael's Convent at the top of Streatham Common. The clock was added to the building in memory of King Edward VIIth and was unveiled on Saturday 5th October 1912.
