ST LUKES CHURCH

Queen’s Park Terrace

Neighbourhood:
Queen's Park
2018
Unknown
2018

James Gray: A fine photograph of the church, and the imposing vicarage, in a largely unmade up Queen’s Park Terrace. It is not possible to date this. The church was erected during the period 1879/1885 and the vicarage later. Even the gas lamp does not help, as these lingered on into the 1920s. jgc_27_148

2018: The vicarage has gained modern new windows and the garden and street trees have grown considerably. Otherwise the buildings remain substantially the same. (Photographer: Ron Fitton)

1967
2020

James Gray: This photograph of February 12th, 1967 shows part of the extensive [Xaverian] college grounds. Considered in conjunction with the present Queen’s Park they formed the surrounds of the Italian Villa built for Thomas Attree and later owned by George Duddell. Outside the long flint wall was built Queen’s Park Terrace which was started about 1890/1891. In this area are now to be built a number of Georgian-style houses by A.J. Wait & Co. Ltd. The background is dominated by St Luke’s School. jgc_24_189   

2020: The area is now terraced housing constructed around 1970. The flint wall and houses on Queen’s Park Terrace remain. St Luke’s School is no longer visible in the background but the tip of the Pepper Pot can be seen just above the rooftop.  (Photographer: Kate Ormond)
