Summary
| Description |
English: Bromley by Bow: Arrow Road, E3 A lot of the Victorian housing stock in this area has been lost but there are odd groupings that survive. This terrace is on the south side of the road, but note the modern terrace further down, where the architect has attempted, not very successfully, to replicate the design of the older houses. If you look at the aerial photography, with the birds eye view looking at the rear of the terrace, on http://maps.live.com the difference between the two terraces is quite startling. The older ones have individual pitched roofs behind the front parapet wall while the newer ones have one continuous pitched roof with the ridge line parallel to the road. The older ones have individual rear extensions while the new ones have no extensions at all.
Up to and including the edition of 1899 the Ordnance Survey mapping of this area clearly shows this street as Orwell Road. However by 1920 the OS have the current name of Arrow Road. Quite why Orwell fell out of favour is a mystery. |
