Holly Village
Ian Nairn in 1966 in Nairn's London had this to say about Holly Village: "An endearing group of hedgehogs in the angle between Swains Lane and Chester Road. Built for Baroness Burdett-Coutts with all the child-like bravado of Darbishire's late lamented Columbia Market behind Shoreditch Church. Through the archway on the corner and there is a different world: eight very spiky houses, all different around a central green space. ... The cottages in their preposterous angularity must be like having outsize toy animals around the playground."
The inscription over the entrance says: "Holly Village erected by A.G.B. Coutts A.D 1865" - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5779945
