Title
Caversham House on Brixton Hill
Description
The front elevation at 71-73 Brixton Hill by Brixton Water Lane, Brixton, in neo-classical style with portico entrance and stucco basement detail. This site was known as Caversham House and had middle-class residents in the nineteenth century. The Warwick College for Girls with its extensive grounds was formerly at number 71; it offered boarding facilities to children whose parents were abroad. Next door at number 73 Brixton Hill lived the comic variety artist James Holloway (stage name Jimmy Nervo) in the 1930s. Brixton provided good links to the West End for such acts and there was also The Empress Theatre at Brighton Terrace. A car is parked in the grounds.
