Dist:0.3km north<br/>This Victorian public house is at 58 Pearscroft Road, SW6. Comparing the 1874 and 1896 Editions of the Ordnance Survey 1:10,560 scale mapping shows the great change that took place in Sands End between those two dates. In 1874 there were virtually no houses but lots of orchards, but by 1896 certainly the whole area from Bagley's Lane (in the foreground here) westwards had been developed for housing. The pub would have stood at the edge of that development. Curiously the 1896 map shows Pearscroft Road to be Victoria Road, but by the time the 1920 Edition was published it had changed to its present name.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Part of a conservation area adjoining the New Kings' Road, Studdridge Street was built at the end of the C19 by Jimmy Nichols. Along with adjoining streets on its north side, it is characterised by decorative features of which the most eye-catching are these terracotta lions, used as finials, roof tiles and on projecting bays. Unfortunately, they should be red in colour, but the vast majority are now painted white.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>The gasworks was originally built in the 19th century to provide lighting for the boroughs of Hammersmith and Fulham, and was known then as the Imperial Gas Works. The current configuration of gasometers was certainly in place by 1896. This view was taken looking down Fulmead Street across Imperial Road.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>This is the Beaconsfield Walk entrance to the station; the other entrance is in Parsons Green Lane and is shown in an earlier Geograph. The station opened on 1st March 1880 when the District Railway extended its West Brompton branch southwards to what is now Putney Bridge. In 1889 the line was extended further south to Wimbledon by the London & South Western Railway. Parsons Green is today served by District Line trains from Wimbledon to both Edgware Road and Upminster.

Dist:0.5km east<br/>This is the view down Tynemouth Street towards the Church, although the main entrance is past the tower and around to the left in Stephendale Road. The Church was built in 1922 to the designs of the catholic Priest Fr Benedict Williamson, and was funded by a lady in memory of her son who was killed in 1914 during the First World War. Some of the internal architecture is of an Egyptian style reflecting the contemporary interest in all things Egyptian around that time, when the Tomb of Tutankhamun had just been discovered by Howard Carter.
