SOUTHWARK

TQ3280SE SOUTHWARK STREET 636-1/17/706 (South side) No.3

II

Warehouse. 1864-5. Stock brick with stucco dressings, and slate mansard roof with dormers set back behind parapet. Curving corner plan with eight-window range including return with 3 windows and hoist range. Italianate style. 4 storeys over basement. Round-headed windows forming a continuous arcade to each storey. With the exception of the ground-floor where the lower part of the openings have been filled with plate glass, almost all the remaining openings have authentic glazing which consists of casements with fixed-arched lights above. All 3 doors are of C20 date. The openings of the hoist range, the iron bracket with pulley, and the hatch of the topmost doorway are all authentic. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: one of the first buildings to be erected in Southwark Street, forming an excellent 'gateway' to the newly opened commercial thoroughfare laid out by the Metropolitan Board of Works to link London Bridge and Blackfriars. Southwark Street was the Board's first town-planning initiative, and was opened along its entire length in 1864. No.3 appears in a view of the street which was published in the "Illustrated London News" for 18 February 1865.
