Vauxhall Walk lies to the north of the Vauxhall area.

The 1745 edition of Rocque’s map depicts Vauxhall Walk, also known as Lowner’s Lane, as a rural lane with hedges and fields on both sides. It extended from Lambeth Butts, which is now known as Black Prince Road, to Vauxhall Gardens.

In 1768, the Duchy of Cornwall granted a building lease of land on the western side of Vauxhall Walk to William Pace. As a result, 28 houses were constructed in the area. This marked the beginning of the transformation of the once rural lane into a more urban and residential environment.

Over time, further development took place in the area, and Vauxhall Walk became more densely populated with residential buildings and other structures.

The south end became part of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. Part of the south leg was renamed New Spring Gardens Walk.

Saunders Street, SE11
I was born in a prefab on Saunders street SE11 in the 60’s, when I lived there, the road consisted of a few prefab houses, the road originally ran from Lollard street all the way thru to Fitzalan street. I went back there to have a look back in the early 90’s but all that is left of the road is about 20m of road and the road sign.

Road construction and houses completed
New Charleville Circus road layout shown on Stanford’s Library Map Of London And Its Suburbs 1879 with access via West Hill only.

Plans showing street numbering were recorded in 1888 so we can concluded the houses in Charleville Circus were built by this date.

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.

No 36 Upper East Smithfield
My great great grandfather was born at No 36 Upper East Smithfield and spent his early years staring out at a "dead wall" of St Katharine’s Docks. His father was an outfitter and sold clothing for sailors. He describes the place as being backed by tenements in terrible condition and most of the people living there were Irish.
