Very solid-looking Victorian semis - with barge-boarded gables facing the street - are typical of these streets on the north side of Kingston. Along this stretch of King's Road each pair of houses has a date-panel up in the gable. Most are no longer legible, but one (nearer Kingston Gate) reads "Emma's Cottages 1870". Plainly this area of Kingston was laid out at about that time, as the old East Surrey Barracks (a couple of hundred yards behind the camera) carry the date 1875.
