MONTPELIER CRESCENT

A rare picture of this seldom photographed road. One wonders about the period. Certainly the iron railings along the curved side had gone although the wall facing Vernon Terrace still remained. The garden looks unkempt and unattended, while the two old cars may have been abandoned. All this evidence suggests a photograph taken during the 1939/1945 war, or very soon afterwards. The Crescent was designed by Amon Henry Wilds, in the mid – 1840s, and was built on the site of a previous cricket ground.
