Many people will know what the Almshouses in Choumert Road look like from the front but probably don't peer round the back. The Victorians usually treated rear domestic elevations in a fairly basic manner but here there is real attention to the architectural detail. Note especially the parapet/coping detail, and the roof profiles. And who said chimneys are always boring?</p> 51.468065 -0.069448 Design - good and bad History Choumert Road Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:02:51 +0000 125 at http://www.bellenden.net http://www.bellenden.net/neighbourhood-pictures/corner-danby-street-restoration <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-photo"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/neighbourhood-pictures/corner-danby-street-restoration" class="imagecache imagecache-square imagecache-linked imagecache-square_linked"><img src="http://www.bellenden.net/sites/default/files/imagecache/square/IMGP1066%20Danby%20St%20corner%20house_3.JPG" alt="" title="" width="100" height="100" class="imagecache imagecache-square"/></a> </div> <div class="field-item even"> <a href="/neighbourhood-pictures/corner-danby-street-restoration" class="imagecache imagecache-square imagecache-linked imagecache-square_linked"><img src="http://www.bellenden.net/sites/default/files/imagecache/square/IMGP1065_5.JPG" alt="" title="" width="100" height="100" class="imagecache imagecache-square"/></a> </div> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/neighbourhood-pictures/corner-danby-street-restoration" class="imagecache imagecache-square imagecache-linked imagecache-square_linked"><img src="http://www.bellenden.net/sites/default/files/imagecache/square/IMGP1064_1.JPG" alt="" title="" width="100" height="100" class="imagecache imagecache-square"/></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-name"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Contributor&#039;s name:&nbsp;</div> eileen </div> </div> </div> <p>This house is prominent on the corner of Danby Street and Copleston Road, and is currently (April 2009) being renovated.
