The three Edwardian apartment blocks that comprise Lissenden Gardens celebrated their centenary in 2006. Exemplary of modern town planning, they aimed to attract the middle-classes to what was then an unpopular area, by offering state-of-the art buildings and unusual architectural features which drew on the ideas of William Morris. The residents have included many notable people: the blue plaque seen here commemorates the historian R.H.Tawney, while directly above there is another for the composer Haydn Wood.
