Gerry Mellett | Wordpress comment (July 18, 2016) Dear Mr. Schaaf, A relation has just sent me a link to your very interesting blog on Nicolaas Henneman's connection's with the area as his location for a planned photographic 'manufactory'. I grew up in Kensal Green (Pember Rd.) and the plan of the house that was purchased for conversion I found interesting as it immediately reminded me of a house in which a childhood friend of mine lived and which I consequently visited quite a bit in the sixties. The trigger for me was the diagonal left hand side of the house. My friend's family only occupied the ground floor and semi-basement of the house, so the steps up to the front door in the plan are also reminiscent. There are also steps leading out to the back yard of the house, which was originally a stable yard. So, the floor plan looks very similar to my friend's home, but - minus the extension. I suppose it's quite possible the extension could have been demolished some time after 1857 as it may have been unsuitable for domestic accommodation. However, it may also have been demolished to make way for further development, as there is a now a road (Berens Rd) on the right hand side of the house and it is quite apparent that the exposed flank of the house also closely resembles the plan of the original building, with protrusions for the fireplaces and stack. I obviously have no proof whatsoever that this was indeed the original location of the Henneman factory but, to my knowledge, there is no other building on the Harrow Rd at Kensal Green that resembles the surviving plan. The house still exists and the address is 820 Harrow Rd, NW10 5JU. I hope this is helpful. Kind regards Gerry Mellett [email protected] This comment was posted on The Underground Map blog.

Tony Whipple Added: 16 Apr 2024 21:35 GMT | Frank Whipple Place, E14 Frank was my great-uncle, I’d often be ’babysat’ by Peggy while Nan and Dad went to the pub. Peggy was a marvel, so full of life. My Dad and Frank didn’t agree on most politics but everyone in the family is proud of him. A genuinely nice, knowledgable bloke. One of a kind. Reply |

Wendy Added: 22 Mar 2024 15:33 GMT | Polygon Buildings Following the demolition of the Polygon, and prior to the construction of Oakshott Court in 1974, 4 tenement type blocks of flats were built on the site at Clarendon Sq/Phoenix Rd called Polygon Buildings. These were primarily for people working for the Midland Railway and subsequently British Rail. My family lived for 5 years in Block C in the 1950s. It seems that very few photos exist of these buildings. Reply |

Plans showing street numbering were recorded in 1888 so we can concluded the houses in Charleville Circus were built by this date. Source: Charleville Circus, Sydenham, London Reply |

Paul Cox Added: 5 Mar 2024 22:18 GMT | War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there. Reply |
