IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Lifford Street, LONDON, SW15 1NY

Parked cars spoil photographs of many an attractive street in Putney. Quill Lane is one of the exceptions as it is clearly too narrow for cars and has therefore been pedestrianised.

According to the 1901 census, my great-grandparents lived just round the corner in Charlwood Terrace. That little street has been so transformed that the old 'omnibus driver' and his wife would scarcely recognise it - or so I fear. On the other hand, the terrace on the west side of Modder Place cannot have changed all that much in the space of 110 years.

The road runs parallel to Image and slightly nearer the river, which perhaps explains why the houses, though still terraced, are a little grander. This is from the junction with Charlwood Road.

Located at 10 Chelverton Road SW15 IRH, this bus garage was first used as horse-bus stables in 1888, but then became a motor-bus garage on Thursday 18th July 1912. Rebuilding of this garage took place in 1935/6, while further improvements were carried out in 1985/6. Formerly a London Transport bus garage, it is now one of a few operated by London General Transport Services and has approximately 120 buses based here. Day bus routes operated by this garage are 14, 22, 74, 209, 337, 378, 424, 430 and 533 while bus routes worked through the night are 14, N22 and N74.
