23 terraced houses. In Square planned in 1828 by John Booth and his son, also John, Surveyors for the Lloyd Baker Estate. Built 1841-1843 by William Joseph Booth, another son, architect; buildings rebuilt c.1980 by Islington Council and converted to flats. Yellow stock brick set in Flemish bond with banded stucco ground-floor and stucco dressings; roofs obscured. Side-hall entrance plan. Three storeys with basement; 2 windows each. Symmetrical composition: houses in groups of six; centre and end houses break forward. Steps rise to entrance (no. 1 with entrance in left-hand return wall in Granville Street): doorway with panelled pilaster jambs carrying corniced-head, patterned rectangular overlight and C20 panelled doors. 6/6 sashes throughout: ground-floor with margin lights; upper floors architraved and 1st floor full-length sashes with cornices and individual balconies with cast-iron railings. Plain stucco band beneath cornice and blocking course; no. 6 with shaped panel to blocking course. Attached cast-iron railings with tasselled spearhead finials. Granville Square was the final portion of the Lloyd Baker Estate to be built; formerly it had functioned as a rubbish tip by builders of nearby streets. Originally it was called Sharp Square in honour of Thomas Lloyd Baker's wife, niece to William Granville Sharp, Esq, of Fulham. St. Philip's church was built first, in the centre of the Square, by Edward Buckton Lamb, architect, in 1831-1833 but it was demolished in 1938. Granville Square is the only street in the Lloyd Baker Estate that was built in a conventional terrace style and is notably squeezed into a restricted space between Wharton and Lloyd Baker Streets.
