Doorway in Hammersmith Terrace - and a coal-hole
According to Pevsner, Hammersmith Terrace was built circa 1750, when the area was still rural - market gardening and orchards. The terrace has an odd plainness - the only architectural details to catch the eye are the doorways with their Tuscan columns, painted black in several cases.
The iron disc set in the pavement is a coal-hole cover. Many Georgian terraces were built so that their 'ground floor' was several feet above true ground level, leaving room for basements and coal cellars (see Sir John Summerson's book, 'Georgian London', chapter 5). In this case, at the front of the doorstep there is a row of little apertures - each the shape of a slice of melon - allowing light into the coal cellar.

Hammersmith Terrace
Hammersmith Terrace is a block of 17 townhouses backing onto the River Thames and dating from around 1750, when this area was on the outskirts of London. Three of the residences have blue plaques. The calligrapher Edward Johnston, who designed the font used by London Underground, lived at No 3, the typographer and antiquary Sir Emery Walker lived at No 7, and the author and humorist A P Herbert lived and died at No 12.
