Title
Corner of Battersea High Street and Vicarage Crescent
Description
Corner of Battersea High Street and Vicarage Road, showing 76-82 Battersea High Street including a corner shop at 82 and other two-storey nineteenth- century properties. The shop has numerous advertisements outside for Walls Ice Cream, Lyon's Cakes, R. White and Craven A. Someone has written "Flour for your pancakes" on the shop window, suggesting that this was taken around Shrove Tuesday. A bicycle and a parked car is visible, as are pedestrians further down Vicarage Crescent. These properties were replaced by Powrie House, a small four storey block of flats which comprised the first council housing in Battersea High Street, constructed by 1958-1959 by Prestige and Company, believed to be to the designs of Howes and Jackman (according to the Survey of London).
