Clark Road
Several houses in Clark Road have terracotta features,
such as these neat, late Victorian, early Edwardian, semi-detached
pairs, which have two string courses of terracotta. There
are a good number of ceramic porch tiles in this road too, though not
here.
 |
This very large house stands on a corner and its
designer seems uncertain as to which road the house is facing on to. The main windows are round the side facing Clark Road and the door
is on this side.
This seems to have left the designer with a
rather blank wall, which he tried to fill with a large terracotta
panel.
Note too the terracotta finials carefully installed on
the new front wall. |
| The panel is large but somewhat crude in execution. The bosses on which the garland hangs are a rather unhappy invention
and the central star seems quite unrelated to the rest. |
