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
