Corner Fielde, Streatham Hill, LONDON, SW2 4TH

This is the name of the block of flats on the corner.

At Brixton bus garage.

Fleet number DW68 is displaying blinds for route 137 to Marble Arch. DW234 and DW81 are parked flanking the garage exit.

This imposing block of flats was designed by Toms and Partners in 1937. Happily, the original metal Crittall-style windows seem to have survived. The original sales brochure boasted, "constant softened hot water ... separate tradesmen's entrance ... from £105 p.a". It is within the Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill Conservation Area. The course of Streatham High Road has been a major highway between London and Sussex since Roman times. Its current appearance is largely attributable to two major spells of development. The first was during the late C19th following the opening of Streatham Hill station in 1856, and the second was after 1911 when the line to Victoria was electrified. Though much-maligned and undoubtedly blighted by heavy traffic, closer examination reveals that the road is lined with a number of interesting buildings, some of which reflect the period between the wars when Streatham was a fashionable centre of entertainment.

Although referred to officially as Brixton bus garage, this depot on Streatham Hill is about a mile south of Brixton itself (although still within the SW2 postcode area). It was formerly operated by London Transport, although the buses were privatised in the mid 1990s. This depot and the buses operating from it passed to Cowie group, who subsequently became Arriva.
