\n\"Hilgrove<\/a>\n<\/div>
Hilgrove Rd, South Hampstead, Camden, 1988 88-6d-12<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This semi-detached pair of Gothic revival red brick house date from around 1870 and are locally listed. They have a very ecclesiastical look. Hilgrove Road was laid out as Adelaide Road North in the 1830s or 40s and named in honour of Queen Adelaide, born as Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen in 1792 who in 1818 was married to William, Duke of Clarence and became Queen who in 1830 became queen consort of Great Britain when her husband was crowned as William IV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The road was renamed Hilgrove road in 1875 by developers who wanted to attract house buyers with a name that suggested it was a semi-rural location – something that is very common in this area. You can read more about Camden street names in a listing by David A. Hayes and Camden History Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Fairhazel<\/a>\n<\/div>
Fairhazel Gardens, South Hampstead, Camden, 1988 88-6d-13<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fairhazel Gardens sounds like another of these ‘semi-rural’ estate agents names, but apparently was taken from a truly rural local property on the Sussex estate of the Maryon Wilson family. Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson (1800 \u2013 1869) was the 8th Baronet of Eastbourne and Charlton. He was also lord of the manor of Hampstead and according to Wikipedia <\/a>tried hard to cover the area with housing despite problems with the terms of his fathers will and the protests of local residents. You can read more in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fairhazel Gardens (originally called North End Road) began to be developed in 1879 but the flats probably date from between 1886 and 1896. The area was developed by Sir Spencer Maryon Wilson, the tenth baronet (1829\u20131897).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Greencroft<\/a>\n<\/div>
Greencroft Gardens, South Hampstead, Camden, 1988 88-6d-14<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Greencroft was another genuinely rural name, coming from a farm near near Great Canfield on the Essex estate of the Maryon Wilsons (again according to the Camden History Society listing.) The houses here were built by Ernest Estcourt and James Dixon in the late 1880s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Canfield<\/a>\n<\/div>
Canfield Gardens, South Hampstead, Camden, 1988 88-6e-62<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Great Canfield on the Maryon Wilson Essex estate gave its name to Canfield Gardens – the estate there also contained a 16th century mansion Fitzjohns whose name also appears in the Hampstead area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"South<\/a>\n<\/div>
Cleve Rd, South Hampstead, Camden, 1988 88-6e-63<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Woodcote at 16 Cleve Rd, the road named after a property near Quex Park in Birchington-on-Sea, Kent, the home of the Powell Cotton family who developed their estate around Quex Rd from 1868 on, with Cleve Road coming in 1882-6. Woodcote is a village on the Chilterns in South Oxfordshire, not far from Goring. Woodcote House there was the home of the Cotton family from around the 1790s until some time in the following century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Kingsgate<\/a>\n<\/div>
Kingsgate Rd, Kilburn, Camden, 1988 88-6e-51<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Walking back towards Kilburn Park station my usual wandering fashion I came across this food stall being prepared in Kingsgate Road, though I can no longer remember what was the occasion for it. It looks like some church group, perhaps from the church close to the Quex Road end of Kingsgate Rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Belsize<\/a>\n<\/div>
Belsize Rd, South Hampstead, Camden, 1988 88-6e-52<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This long parade of shops is still there to the west of the junction with Kilburn Priory at 199-219 Belsize Rd. Belsize Rd was developed from 1851.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Kilburn<\/a>\n<\/div>
Kilburn High Rd, Kilburn, Camden, 1988 88-6e-54<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Red Lion at 34 Kilburn High Rd claims to have been established in 1444 and rebuilt in 1890, then replacing a rather charming two storey building<\/a> possibly a hundred years old. At some time after my photograph it became called The Westbury, then in 2012 a bar called Love and Liquor, and finally in 2017 Soul Store West, a dinner, cocktail bar and hotel, which closed after four months. You can read more on its history in \u2018Professor Morris\u2019 and the Red Lion, Kilburn<\/a>. The authors of this say the earliest date they can trace for the pub is an alcohol licence for 1721.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Tin<\/a>\n<\/div>
Tin Tabernacle, Cambridge Ave, Kilburn, Brent, 1988 88-6e-55<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally as I walked towards Kilburn Park Station I couldn’t resist taking another picture of TS Leicester, Kiburn’s ‘Tin Tabernacle’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was my final picture in London for around a month, though I made more pictures of Hull and also on an industrial architecture visit to Sharpness and the Forest of Dean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
