Nevern Square Conservation Area Appraisal Draft September 2017 Adopted: XXXXXXXXX Nevern Square Conservation Area Appraisal Draft September 2017 Adopted: XXXXXXXXX Note: Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this document but due to the complexity of conservation areas, it would be impossible to include every facet contributing to the area’s special interest. Therefore, the omission of any feature does not necessarily convey a lack of significance. The Council will continue to assess each development proposal on its own merits. As part of this process a more detailed and up to date assessment of a particular site and its context is undertaken. This may reveal additional considerations relating to character or appearance which may be of relevance to a particular case. NEVERN SQUARE CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL | 3 Contents 1.

A major extension taking in the remainder of Nevern Road, Trebovir Road, Longridge Road, Templeton Place and the east side of Warwick Road was made in February 1997. Nos. 188- 244 (even) Earl’s Court Road including the Earl’s Court Road Station frontage were added in April 1998. The many Welsh street names in the area come from the nineteenth century landowners, the Edwardes family, who hailed from Pembrokeshire. 1.6 The conservation area is made up of mid- late Victorian terraced houses and mansion flats (all built between 1873-1886) as well as a grade II listed railway station (1871-1906), a former mews (1875-76) and a good amount of trees and greenery. The focus of the area is Nevern Square, a well planted and maintained private garden square for the use of the surrounding homeowners. 1.7 The area displays the changes in Nos. 5-7 (odd) Nevern Place Nos. 40-42 (consecutive) Nevern Square architectural style that took place in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.

The architect Walter Graves mainly local people who worked predominantly began in the well-established Italianate style, designed Nevern Square which was constructed in this part of London. but changed to the ‘new’ Domestic Revival style between 1880–86, mostly by builder, Robert around Nevern Square - both using the terraced Whitaker with the south-western side being 1.9 Gardens play an important role in creating house format - but ending with the construction completed after his death to a different design the setting to the houses and the area is of mansion flats, a daring departure from houses by George Graves.

  • The Kensington District
    The Kensington District By G. E. Mitton The Kensington District When people speak of Kensington they generally mean a very small area lying north and south of the High Street; to this some might add South Kensington, the district bordering on the Cromwell and Brompton Roads, and possibly a few would remember to mention West Kensington as a far- away place, where there is an entrance to the Earl's Court Exhibition. But Kensington as a borough is both more and less than the above. It does not include all West Kensington, nor even the whole of Kensington Gardens, but it stretches up to Kensal Green on the north, taking in the cemetery, which is its extreme northerly limit. If we draw a somewhat wavering line from the west side of the cemetery, leaving outside the Roman Catholic cemetery, and continue from here to Uxbridge Road Station, thence to Addison Road Station, and thence again through West Brompton to Chelsea Station, we shall have traced roughly the western boundary of the borough. It covers an immense area, and it begins and ends in a cemetery, for at the south-western corner is the West London, locally known as the Brompton, Cemetery. In shape the borough is strikingly like a man's leg and foot in a top-boot. The western line already traced is the back of the leg, the Brompton Cemetery is the heel, the sole extends from here up Fulham Road and Walton Street, and ends at Hooper's Court, west of Sloane Street. This, it is true, makes a very much more pointed toe than is usual in a man's boot, for the line turns back immediately down the Brompton Road.
