Stm325 Final THE ST MARYLEBONE SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Summer 2019 Number 356 www.stmarylebonesociety.org Registered Charity 274082 PLACE SHAPING IN MARYLEBONE Following restructuring of the planning department at Westminster City Council (WCC) last year, John Walker stepped down as Director of Planning and a new post was created for his successor Deirdra Armsby – ‘Director of Place Shaping’. To open the debate on what this means the 2019 St Marylebone Society (SMS) planning walk with WCC Councillors, planners, conservation officers and local stakeholders will follow a route that illustrates how the SMS have ‘shaped’ Marylebo ne’s townscape over the past 70 years. Since their founding in 1948, the SMS have insisted that the ‘public realm’ (that is the space between buildings) was cared for in exactly the same way as the historic buildings, maintaining that both contribute equally to Marylebone’s distinctive character. Perhaps the most important SMS campaign was its first – that to prevent the demolition of the Nash Terraces post WW2. It is impossible to imagine Regent’s Park without these Grade 1 classical structures, which surround the open space, connect with and frame the landscape and create a place of national heritage significance. Thousands of people enjoy it, not just for its unique design and beauty, but because they feel comfortable, safe and relaxed within it. Indeed it is these buildings and the roads, railings and hedges that enclose and ‘shape’ the park. The SMS has always assumed ownership and responsibility for the public realm, a stance which som e might consider proprietorial and somewhat inappropriate. However, this attitude stems from a genuine love and respect of the place we call ‘home’ alongside an understanding that local authorities need help and may not be in a position to prioritise beauty and ‘sense of place’ within their stretched budgets. Post WW2 this was certainly the case when the society started a fund-raising campaign to save the 1740 St Mary’s St Mary’s Church,Wyndham Place – drawn by Thomas H Shepherd (1828) – engraved by Archer.

MARYLEBONE SQUARE INTRODUCTION A Rare London Find What is it about Marylebone? Perhaps it’s the elegance of its architecture and the charm of its boutiques and eateries – or the surprising tranquillity of its tree-lined streets, a world away from the bustle of nearby Oxford Street. In the end, it might be the sense of community and leisurely pace of life that sets this neighbourhood apart. As the city buzzes with its busy schedules, Marylebone takes its time – savouring sit-down coffees in local cafés and loungy lunches in the park. It’s easy to forget you’re just a short stroll away from transport hubs, tourist attractions and all the trappings of big city life.

  • Marylebone Lane Area
    DRAFT CHAPTER 5 Marylebone Lane Area At the time of its development in the second half of the eighteenth century the area south of the High Street was mostly divided between three relatively small landholdings separating the Portman and Portland estates. Largest was Conduit Field, twenty acres immediately east of the Portman estate and extending east and south to the Tyburn or Ay Brook and Oxford Street. This belonged to Sir Thomas Edward(e)s and later his son-in-law John Thomas Hope. North of that, along the west side of Marylebone Lane, were the four acres of Little Conduit Close, belonging to Jacob Hinde. Smaller still was the Lord Mayor’s Banqueting House Ground, a detached piece of the City of London Corporation’s Conduit Mead estate, bounded by the Tyburn, Oxford Street and Marylebone Lane. The Portland estate took in all the ground on the east side of Marylebone Lane, including the two island sites: one at the south end, where the parish court-house and watch-house stood, the other backing on to what is now Jason Court (John’s Court until 1895). This chapter is mainly concerned with Marylebone Lane, the streets on its east side north of Wigmore Street, and the southern extension of the High Street through the Hinde and part of the Hope–Edwardes estates, in the form of Thayer Street and Mandeville Place – excluding James Street, which is to be described together with the Hope–Edwardes estate generally in a later volume. The other streets east of Marylebone Lane – Henrietta Place and Wigmore Street – are described in Chapters 8 and 9.
