BAKER STREET AND LONDON TERRACE

London Terrace

Neighbourhood:
London Road
1975
2018

James Gray: Approached from a narrow passage by the side of 6 Baker Street and with an exit to Rose Hill Terrace, the row of houses known as London Terrace was built during the 1860s. At that time it faced the long back gardens of what were mostly private houses in London Road. The large Co-operative Society’s store extended a long way over these former gardens and to facilitate further expansion in the 1970s many of the buildings seen in these photographs of 3 August 1975 have since been demolished. 6/11 Baker Street in this photograph have gone, so has the passage shown in photograph jgc_10a_136 and some of the houses of London Terrace [jgc_10a_135], but at least a few of these have been spared. jgc_10a_134

2018: London Terrace at the point that it joined Baker Street is now a wider cut through beneath the new Abacus House. A cut-through that is sometimes gated. See also caption for jgc_10a_132. (Photographer: Nick Eastham)
