Victoria coach station’s temporary base (1929) This was sited where the Tachbrook Estate is now. The open-air King’s Scholar Pond sewer is on the left - unthinkable now - and every single building that can be seen in this picture has gone.

Map of Battersea New Town (1829) From the 1790s, the "New Town" of Battersea started to emerge just west of Nine Elms, with the aim of developing an urban but middle-class district here, amidst the fields. But progress was fragmented due to the various landowners and builders. Working-class terraces gradually filled the gaps between industrial sites.

The farm had evolved from the local estate, "Eia" which was mentioned in the Domesday Book. In the 16th century Ebury Farm covered 430 acres and its farmhouse stood where Victoria coach station is now. The estate was regularly leased by the Crown until James I sold the freehold in 1623. Hugh Audley purchased the manor and it descended in 1666 to his grand-niece Mary Davies. Eleven years later Mary married Sir Thomas Grosvenor of Eaton in Cheshire. While she went mad and he died young, the Grosvenor family profitably developed the land.

The Peabody Trust estates were designed for the working poor with a high quality of build. This was reflected in the rents which were higher than the average. The buildings of the Trust spread out over late Victorian London. In the new millennium, the Peabody Trust was active again in the street. It commissioned Haworth Tompkins’ architects to build a further 55 new homes for the Peabody Trust housing association, at a cost of £8?million.
