Looking across Haverstock Hill to Belsize Grove and a shopping parade beyond. Belsize Grove was marked on the 1871 25 inch map as Haverstock Grove with the area beyond containing a couple of large houses in substantial grounds together with an even larger house called Woodlands, built in the 1860s by the wine merchant Basil George Woodd for his son Robert Ballard Woodd. By the time of the 1896 6 inch map, Haverstock Grove had been renamed Belsize Grove. Woodlands was demolished in the early 20th Century, but the other houses remained, not being shown as having been replaced until the 1939 25 inch map with the row of shops being marked as Havercourt, the corner building being shown as a bank. Note the Victorian postbox on the right (see Image for a close up).
