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.

Killer cat on patrol
I somehow suspect this cat is not that fierce. Notice seen in Hillside Road.

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.

Heraldic lions in Cricklade Avenue, Streatham Hill
This ordinary suburban house had these heraldic lions added at least 50 years ago. They have mellowed with time but I am not sure of the story behind why they were put there. See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2058048
