No. 17 Watergate Street, Deptford.
I found this old photo of No. 17 Watergate Street. Taking a closer look at the door bracket carvings, scroll work and cherubs, one cant help but notice the similarity to the surviving original door brackets in Albury Street.
I think this is also the house in Watergate Street drawn by Geoffrey Fletcher.
ReplyDeleteHi Shipwrights,
ReplyDeleteI know the door drawn in Fletcher's "The London Nobody Knows" is No 31 Albury Street..but did he draw another in Watergate Street?
You are right Andy I was thinking of this one from 1926.

Well I never SP, your right. Ive blown the painting up and I'm sure its the same house. You can just make out the detail of the Cherubs. Well spotted.
