Hailsham Avenue
An example of the variety of motifs and materials employed in houses in this area. It is within the Leigham Court Estate Conservation Area.
The Leigham Court development was one of the first model housing estates, designed for and built specifically to house the middle classes at the end of the C19th, and anticipated the garden suburbs of the early C20th. The estate was organised so that it had a sufficient mix of maisonettes, flats and houses (around 1,000 in total), as well as shops (on Streatham Hill), and a church. It was built by the Artisans', Labourers' and General Dwellings Company, whose architect was Rowland Plumbe, in 1894-1905. Although built on a grid-iron street pattern, variety was provided by the details of elevations, e.g. porches, bay windows, gables, dormers, and by the use of different materials, e.g. red, yellow and glazed bricks, clay tiles, terracotta. The estate was purchased by the London Borough of Lambeth in 1966. Information from Lambeth Council (http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/NR/exeres/CE4B5CE1-0387-40ED-B5A9-273A5160C34A.htm ).

Houses in Mount Nod Road
The red tiled houses seen here are typical of the older houses on the ABCD Estate - so called after its principal roads, Amesbury, Barcombe, Cricklade and Downton Avenues. It is more properly known as Leigham Court Estate. The original part of the ABCD Estate was built on the 66 acre estate of Leigham Court which had been purchased by the Artisans, Labourers and General Dwellings Company in 1890. Development took place in the 1890s. This view is from the corner of Mount Nod Road with Hailsham Avenue. With gaps for 'G' 'I' and 'J' the other roads on the estate follow on alphabetically. These are Emsworth Street, Faygate Road, Hailsham Avenue, Keymer Road and Lydhurst Avenue. Only a few similar houses were built in Mount Nod Road, but although logically 'M' is next in the sequence, Mount Nod Road is named after Mount Nod Farm which appears on early 19th century maps.
