There are to be seen a whole set of houses on the south side of Richmond Avenue which have these sphinxes on either side of the entrance. These ones are painted black like most of them although one pair is black but has creepy white eyes - see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7015281 There is one pair which is painted white - see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7015277
