1, Horniman Drive - Modernised modernism
Image: © Brian Whittle Taken: 25 Mar 2020
A 1930s modernist villa which has been altered recently. It used have brick facing which has since been rendered and painted white. The roof line used to be where the rendering stops to the right of the stair tower, however, an extra floor was installed as seen by the cladding at the top. This is one of three modernist villas built in this road in the 1930s, the others being Welcome Aboard and Regina. Horniman Drive and the roads adjoining it were not developed until the 1930s, when the Victorian Tewkesbury Lodge was demolished and its grounds sold for development. The resulting area is thus known as the Tewkesbury Lodge Estate. The unmodified house can be seen in the blog http://daveanderson.me.uk/houses/Images/SE/23/HornimanDr1.jpg
