The main block of Blythe House, seen from Hazlitt Road, Olympia. Blythe House was built between 1899 and 1903 as the main office of the Post Office Savings Bank, which had outgrown its previous headquarter in Queen Victoria Street. By 1902 the Bank had 12,000 branches and more than 9 million accounts.

I eventually came across it while walking in the neighbourhood of Barons Court station, hidden away in the back streets. While preparing the video for one of my walks - the one between Barons Court and West Kensington - I had one of those ’blimey’ moments. A frequent comment on old photos on The Underground Map’s Facebook page is (and I paraphrase). "things have certainly changed since that was taken". Well, consider being a resident of Barons Court in the mid 1860s and then living there for the next thirty years. On the 1860s map, it’s a sea of market gardens. Your area is so remote that it hasn’t even got a name. Not so many houses are here although the Fulham Workhouse is a depressing reminder of the fickleness of fate. Then the District Railway arrives carving a route across the fields of turnips, carrots and lettuce. The local landowner has decided to speculate and has called his land ’Barons Court’ is anticipation of posh residents. A new station is built and so gets the name Barons Court too. Houses begin to fill the landscape - so much so that the mid 1890s map shows the arrival of acres of streets and development. Two tranches of land are set aside. One piece is kept to create the Margravine (or Hammersmith) Cemetery, established in 1868. A second area is reserved for a recreation ground which is then absorbed by the Queen’s Club (established 1886). This mid 1860s map shows the area where Barons Court station (BC) and West Kensington station (WK) will be built. The purple outline shows the future cemetery and the green outline the future Queen’s Club. This is one of the rare occasions in London where such plots do not exactly follow the former field boundaries. Credit: Ordnance Survey (1867) TUM image id: 1718865366 Licence:
