Petersham Road, with weather-boarded cottage
Looking south along Petersham Road. Early photographs show that many buildings in the Richmond area were once weather-boarded - even in Richmond town centre. The building seen here is partly weather-boarded - part (not visible from this angle) is hung with shingles. Weather-boarding became widespread during a period when a tax was levied on bricks (from 1784 to 1850).

Weather-boarded cottage in Petersham Road
Nineteenth-century photographs show that many buildings in the area around Richmond were once weatherboarded. This little cottage is one of very few which remain in anything like their original state. The cottages to the right are built on a very similar scale, so perhaps the whole of this little terrace was once weather-boarded.
Weather-boarding is said to have flourished from 1784, when the British government imposed a tax on bricks (eventually abolished in 1850).
A collection of early photographs is held in Richmond Borough's Local Studies Collection, at the Old Town Hall, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond. Some images are available on-line:

View of Twickenham Stadium from Richmond Park
Looking west. The two brown buildings beyond look to be Heathrow Airport, as I can just about make out "British Airways" and its logo when I zoom in to this shot.
