Description
Nos. 880, 882, and 884 on Old Kent Road are three houses built around 1815 by John Lamb, a timber merchant. The exterior is finished in stucco and features a cornice with paired brackets, although the brackets are missing from Nos. 882 and 884. Above the cornice is a delicate anthemion frieze. Each house has three storeys and two bays, but the ground floors are concealed by projecting 20th-century shops. The houses are separated by giant fluted pilasters with ammonite capitals, a design element that was popularized by Amon Wilds in Brighton and is now quite rare in London. These pilasters support segmental arches over the second-floor windows. The windows are square-headed sash types with glazing bars set in moulded architraves, while No. 880 features casement windows on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected. These houses were originally part of a larger terrace, most of which was demolished to make way for the railway in 1865.
