Queen Anne Revival style houses on St Margarets Road, in the Brockley Conservation Area, Lewisham, London.
St Margaret’s Road, Adelaide Avenue and part of Brockley Road were part of the Bridge House Estates. These roads are at the southern boundary of the conservation area which developed towards the end of the Victorian period. It is easily distinguishable from the other areas as the houses are generally smaller and mainly built of red brick. The predominant style is based on the Queen Anne Revival style, which was popular during this period. The contrast between the bright-red brick and white Queen Anne windows (ie the top sash divided into smaller panes and the lower sash left blank) was a key feature of this style; Adelaide Avenue and the southern part of St Margaret’s Road exhibit beautiful examples. The buildings at nos. 285–331 Brockley Road are similar in style with tiled roofs, dormer window and stone mullioned bay windows. These were added to the conservation area in 2005. Further up St Margaret’s Road and in the very southern part of Tressillian Road are early purposebuilt flats. Their distinctive Dutch gables, terracotta details, mullioned windows, and widearched porches are typical Arts and Crafts features. Adelaide
