A poor quality copy of an original taken looking east towards the gas works. Thanks to John Glover for this image.

Below is roughly the same view in 2008 from Google Street View.

Comment by John Grover on January 13, 2023 at 14:07: Clarendon Road was a close knit community , very little crime back then .It was a busy road only 175 yards long , A brewery ,2 carpenter yards , an electronics company ,Tissingtons Sweet Shop , a parrafin dealer , and of course the North Thames Gas Board .

The houses were well kept , clean and no junk outside , people used to sweep the gutters and when the milkman came with his horse and cart it was a race to get the horse manure for the vegetable patch .

All my be Aunts , Uncles ,Cousins lived on Clarendon Road , as did my Grandfather , and my Great Grandfather back in the 1800's .

Great memory's living there , but sadly it's all gone and replaced with office buildings and flats
