Villa Street runs north-south for 400 metres through Walworth. Comparison with old maps shows that this open area near the southern end of the street was the site of St Stephen's Anglican church, a large church (allegedly seating 2000, but such figures are to be taken with a pinch of salt), built c.1866 (architect H Jarvis) and demolished c.1956.
