Nineteenth-century English House

Hans-Bernd Abel said:
No. 3, Norham Gardens, named "Garford House". Grade II listed. Built in 1866/67, architect: Charles Buckeridge. This photograph shows the house just like it was originally built. Later, in the 1890s it was heavily extended (by about 50%) to the west (right), the entrance was moved to the street side and a large porch was added. The conservatory seen here was demolished, a new one being built at the houses' southeast side. Photographs from the 1960s show a second entrance door, vanished again in the 2000s, thus this house would have had been temporarily subdivided into multiple flats. That's why the brickwork of the front fassade looks a bit cobbled together today. Offered for sale at £ 5.5m in 2017, finally sold in 2022 to Atlantic Institute who refurbished the house as an 8-bedroom fellows residence and named it "Kopanong". The house in the background on the left is No. 5 Norham Gardens (by W. WIlkinson, 1865) which, although later divided into 4 flats, has retained its original character since 150 years. Sources: - T.

Leamington

This is my old school!
Built in 1847 as Leamington College, it then housed the Sacred Heart Catholic Convent from 1903-1916, and subsequently Dover College from 1916-1922, before once again becoming Leamington College for Boys. I was a pupil here from 1959 to 1966.
In 1977 as part of secondary school reorganization, it became Binswood Hall sixth-form centre. It finally closed altogether in 2009, was sold for redevelopment, and is currently (July 2010) awaiting conversion into a retirement flats complex. -

Strange to tell, my current home is a flat in a retirement flats complex in Bristol.
