IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Stockwell Terrace, LONDON, SW9 0QD

The clock tower and war memorial stands in a prominent position at the junction of Clapham Road and South Lambeth Road.

Dated 1843. Grade II listed. These houses once overlooked Stockwell Common, but they now overlook a very busy road junction. Early Victorian building inherited much of the Georgian tradition, but a shift can be seen here in the use of stucco and generally heaver decoration around the windows.

This statue in Stockwell Memorial Gardens was designed by Ian Williams and completed, following his death, by Aleix Barbat. It was inspired by a poem written by local resident Cecile Nobrega and honours women of the Caribbean community. It was unveiled in October 2008. The statue has its own website: http://www.bronzewoman.org.uk/main.cfm .

War Memorial clock at Stockwell

This site was originally part of South Lambeth Common, a large tract of open land belonging to the manor of Vauxhall and owned by the Archbishop of Canterbury. It was gradually enclosed, often illegally, by local tenants for keeping livestock at the start of the 19th century until they were evicted and new restrictions were placed on enclosures or buildings. These restrictions were lifted in 1843 and a local developer bought up and developed much of the land for housing. However, he left this small piece of open space which his successors passed to Lambeth Borough Council in 1920 for it to be developed into a new war memorial garden. The Bronze Woman sculpture was unveiled on 8th October 2008 to celebrate the achievements of Black Caribbean and African women in Britain. The houses behind are Stockwell Terrace.

At the junction of Clapham & South Lambeth Roads, next to Image and Bronze Woman statue; painted with murals to commemorate Violette Szabo GC and Stockwell residents who gave their lives in WW2.
