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.

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.

The Thames (1931) The view is looking southwest from the southern end of Waterloo Bridge. It is not only 1931 but probably the 1 September, the first day of the Triennial International Illumination Congress which took place until 25th September when all the major buildings were floodlit for one month between 9pm and midnight. On that first night it was estimated that over one million extra people were in Central London, the traffic congestion was the worst that London had ever seen. The 1931 congress turned its attention to the standardisation of lamp bases and sockets which were then and are still now, Bayonet and Edison screw.
