Ran between New Kent Road & Deacon Street and is no longer there. Demolished and redeveloped as The Heygate Estate which in turn has since been replaced by Elephant Park.
I think the caption's wrong and right. It is Lion Street, but I don't think the Palatinate extended to Lion Street. The gap was where 55-83 Chatteris Square had stood, and the nearest block on the left is 84-110 Chatteris Square; the front of the building, with bow windows, faces left into the square. The nearest block on the right is 55-83 Lion Street and faces the street.kiwi wrote:I think this is Pollock Road?? as far as I can remember Palatinate Estate was on both sides of Pollock Road.

I didn't know it was called Nicholson House; the only Nicholson House of which I was aware is one of the LCC blocks on Brandon Street. But no, the Lion Street photo was taken from the southern end - the Morris Oxford is parked in Deacon Street, so in this photo that gents' haidresser's is in the far distance at the end of the street.kiwi wrote:Could this be Nicholson House which I have just posted in Lion Street? And is that the white shop in Lion Street down on the left?
Indeed, although the buildings predated the seige by a few years and were originally called Lion Buildings.kiwi wrote:Also, if this is Lion Street which it looks like it is, back behind on the right towards New Kent Road was Ladysmith Dwellings.
