Private houses with long front gardens. 13, 14& 15, three of a terrace of five, as they were in 1900. London Road, when laid out in the 1830’s, consisted almost entirely of private houses, and as late as 1876 only 9 of the 73 buildings on the west side were occupied as shops. The gardens disappeared in 1903 when London Road was widened and the conversion to shops was accelerated. By 1916 only three private houses remained and the last of these, no 86 on the east side was changed over to commercial use in 1929. The only building not now in business use is St Bartholomew’s Clergy House.
