Brentham Garden Suburb was the first garden suburb to be built on ‘Co-partnership’ principles and was an inspiration for the later, larger and more famous Hampstead Garden Suburb .It was designed to a plan by the leading garden city architects Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin, with houses, mostly in the Arts and Crafts style. In 1969 Brentham Garden Suburb was designated a conservation area. The Brentham Society was formed in the same year to support and maintain the character of the area. See http://brentham.com/ for more information. This photograph was taken looking across Meadvale Road from Denison Road. The small green plaque on the wall says "FRED PERRY 1909-1995 Tennis Champion played here 1919-1935" It was in 1934, 1935 and 1936 that Fred Perry won successive Wimbledon gentlemens'singles titles.
