Although it is addressed as New Church Road the building is located at the end a small track called St Philips Mews which it predates. Built in the 1920s as Southcot it later became Grenville Lodge. It is now Charles Lodge, a residential care home.

Number 12-16 is the Drury Tea and Coffee shop who moved here in 2006 from Edward Street where it had been operating since the 1960s.

Number 20 is a small deli, number 24 a private house which has a statue of Buddha in the front garden (Not visible here), whilst 26 is a small service garage.

An unmade track off New Church Road that leads to Image, the western entrance of Image and three houses beyond the latter which were constructed in 1996. These dwellings meant the track required a name and was thus christened St Philips Mews after the church, part of which is visible on the right. This explains the anomaly of Charles Lodge (out of shot to the left) which was built in the 1920s and is officially number 75 New Church Road. The track itself was for many years known locally as Naismith Lane.
