Description
Aldford House, designed by Balfour and Turner, architects, was built between 1894-7. The house was demolished circa 1930 to make way for shops and flats erected in 1931-2. In 1926 the Surveyor to the Grosvenor Estate, Edmund Wimperis, commissioned Bedford Lemere to take a photographic record of the Park Lane frontages of the houses on the estate, at a time when many of the grand houses were disappearing to be replaced by luxury flats and hotels.
