Philip Davies London Region Director, English Heritage Restoration of the historic environment is just as diverse. In this edition of Changing London,snapshots of projects involving English Heritage and its partners from across the capital demonstrate that ‘R’ is not just for ‘restoration’ but for ‘reinvention’ and ‘renewal’. Old buildings and places can be given back their dignity. Others are finding a new lease of life with completely different uses. Still more are being renewed by a combination of both reinvention and restoration. These projects are just a tiny proportion of the work that English Heritage is supporting and assisting across London to create a genuinely sustainable future for both buildings and places. ‘R’ truly stands for much more than just restoration.

  • The Langdon Downs and Normansfield
    THE LANGDON DOWNS AND NORMANSFIELD Richard Husband Dr John Langdon Down (1828-1896) was born the youngest of six children in Torpoint, Devon. His father was in business as a druggist, grocer and linen draper and the family lived over the shop. In 1847 John passed the Pharmaceutical Society's examinations and in 1853 entered the London Hospital Medical School. He qualified as a doctor and became Medical Superintendant at the Royal Earlswood Asylum for Idiots in 1856, a post he held until 1868. In 1859 he was elected Assistant Physician at the Royal London Hospital and then upon his resignation in 1868 commenced in practice at 38 Welbeck Street, London W. In 1881, he moved to larger premises nearby at 81 Harley Street. He bought the White House, soon to be renamed Normansfield on the borders of Hampton Wick and Teddington in 1868 which, following his experiences at Earlswood, became a Private Home for the "care, education and treatment of those of good social position who present any degree of mental deficiency". The White Dr John Langdon Down House came with five acres of grounds and soon after purchase, adjoining properties were added so that the establishment eventually extended to 43 acres. In 1879 the Normansfield theatre was opened which served both as an entertainment centre and a church. From an initial 19 patients in 1868, Normansfield had 145 patients by the time Dr John Langdon Down died suddenly in 1896. Throughout this period, he remained Medical Superintendent and his wife Mary, whom he had married in 1860, acted as Administrator.

These events centred upon Fulwell Tram depot which was the home of our local trams from 1902 to October 1935 The first postcard shows the Hampton Court Tram terminus and was posted in 1903. The second features a tram making its way past the Post Office in Hampton Hill High Street. The London United Tramways Company intended that Fulwell should be the centre of a vast and great tramway network. Before 1901 all public transport had been horse drawn and each horse drawn bus had needed 11 horses to run a 60 miles per day service. Trams running on rails and powered by electricity were modern, clean, efficient and glamorous.
