Description |
|
Valentine Place is a
new residential development of apartments,
penthouses and mews houses built around an
enclosed central garden area in
Southwark. The design involved the
retention of the facade of a former
Edwardian bakery building that occupied
the corner of Valentine Place and Webber
Street.
The development is in a
conservation area that, ironically, was
set up in an attempt by local residents to
prevent the demolition of the bakery and
other industrial and warehouse buildings.
A date stone sits high
up on the retained facade of the former
Maltina Bakery marking the fact that it
was built in 1907. It appears that
despite the efforts of local people to
prevent the demolition, it was just the
facade that survived.
The developer, Crest
Nicholson, describe Valentine Place as , "...
Crafted with quality materials &
luxurious interiors, these homes have
been carefully designed in a modern
warehouse architectural style. ...
crafted around the retained facade of
a former bakery with hidden communal
gardens, just moments from the South
Bank."
