Mitre Road Estate, Southwark, London



Architect

Date Built
1905
Location
Mitre Road - Ufford Street & Webber Street
Description
This relatively quiet leafy road in Southwark is close to The Cut, a road that that is lined with restarants and home to two popular theatres. 



At first sight this looks like a road lined on both sides with Edwardian terraced houses but it is in fact a housing estate, laid out in 1905 by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, comprised of three storey apartment buildings. 





The terraces are built of stock brick with white painted lintels over sash windows.  The steeply pitched roofs have prominent chimney stacks also of stock brick but with red brick copings.  Each unit has a rendered porch set between two storey bay windows.  The frontages are set back behind metal railings. 




The majotity of the buildings are on Mitre Road but the estate also extends onto Ufford Street and Webber Street
