This pub on Paulet Road, seen from along Templar Street, was closed and "to let" in 2009. It was, according to the legend on the front, established in 1787.

Small business units are neighbour to one of many such churches for mainly African and Afro-Caribbean congregations. Glorious Family Church is an arm of Glorious International Ministries: "Raising a people for God's glory".

By the gate, the yellow-painted sign in the shape of a running man focuses on the dangers of high blood pressure and how to reduce the risk; see Image Another sign inside the gate reads: Elam Street Open Space Welcome to Elam Street Elam Street Open Space provides local people with a ‘green lung’ for play, exercise and relaxation, and to escape the pressures of everyday life. Built on land once occupied by housing, it has been landscaped to include a wetland area crossed by a boardwalk, and a popular playground. Interestingly, part of the wetland embankment is made up of old granite kerbstones which once belonged in Foreign Street, which once stood on this site. Not far away from Elam Street Open Space is a former period pub, the Wickwood Tavern, built in 1868. This gives us a clue to what was here before the housing. ‘Wickwood’ was the name of a small wood belonging to the Manor of Lambeth Wick, which extended from here to the corner of Loughborough Road and Coldharbour Lane. Wickwood was originally owned by the Archbishops of Canterbury and used for hunting. Later on many of the trees were cut down for building ships and homes, and in time were used for farming and then housing.

They have a Regency feel. An OS town plan of 1850 seems to show this terrace. Warner Road was then called Londonderry Road. The ornate cast iron windowbox guards feature a V Image Perhaps the houses date from Victoria's accession.

There could be an ornate V in the design: might it stand for Victoria? The houses are seen in Image

This is a close-up of the text of the sign at the Foreign Street gate to the Elam Street Healthy Living Site: see Image It focuses on the risks of high blood pressure and how to reduce them. Note the logos of seven organisations on the sign. No doubt the emphasis on health has secured funding for the creation of this little park.
