Bessborough Place, SW1V
I grew up in bessborough place at the back of our house and Grosvenor road and bessborough gardens was a fantastic playground called trinity mews it had a paddling pool sandpit football area and various things to climb on, such as a train , slide also as Wendy house. There were plants surrounding this wonderful play area, two playground attendants ,also a shelter for when it rained. The children were constantly told off by the playground keepers for touching the plants or kicking the ball out of the permitted area, there was hopscotch as well, all these play items were brick apart from the slide. Pollock was the centre of my universe and I felt sorry and still do for anyone not being born there. To this day I miss it and constantly look for images of the streets around there, my sister and me often go back to take a clumped of our beloved London. The stucco houses were a feature and the backs of the houses enabled parents to see thier children playing.

Greenwood’s map of Pimlico (1829/30) If you know your London SW1, this is a very rewarding map. We have Millbank Penitentiary on the current side of Tate Britain. The Grosvenor Canal was replaced by railway tracks which later emanated from Victoria station, built on the site of the canal basin. Belgravia has been recently laid out on this map but the Neat Houses and the Neat House Gardens marks an area and a name which is now almost lost to us. Harder to spot running north-south on the left of the map is the still open-air River Westbourne.
