Heraldic lions in Cricklade Avenue, Streatham Hill
This ordinary suburban house had these heraldic lions added many years ago. They have mellowed with time but I am not sure of the story behind why they were put there.

St Margaret, Barcombe Avenue
By Rowland Plumbe, 1889-1907. Of red brick, with a bell turret at the crossing. Grade II listed. 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 (seen here). 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 ).

Semi Detached Houses
This pair of semis sits at the junction of Wavertree Rd and Downton Avenue. The right hand one is completely covered with a scaffolding roof probably for renovation of the house roof. The houses sit right on the grid line on the western side of the grid square.

The Church of St Margaret the Queen
Seen here across Barcombe Avenue, the Church of St Margaret the Queen was built in 1899 to serve the spiritual needs of the Leigham Court Estate. This estate is also known as the ABCD Estate - so called after its principal roads, Amesbury, Barcombe, Cricklade and Downton Avenues. 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. Suburban houses were later built further away from the main road. Apart from '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. Due to a dwindling congregation, the final service was held at the church on 27th April 2014 after which the church was leased to Moot, a lay community based in the City of London seeking to find fresh ways of worship and involvement in the community. The parish was divided between neighbouring parishes.
