Stockwell – Chapel, Church, Jazz & Housing: I assumed I had accomplished the photographs from my stroll on 4th June 1989, however discover there’s a chunk I had disregarded. As those that have adopted my varied walks know I usually wandered in circles. I believe these photos have been taken following these within the publish Extra Stockwell Inexperienced & Mary Seacole.
The Khatme Nubuwwat Centre was beforehand referred to as Aalami Majlise Tahaffuze Khatme Nubuwwat and is also referred to as Stockwell Inexperienced Mosque. It was the topic of an investigation by the Charity Fee in 2016 over its hyperlinks with Pakistani teams advocating the killing of Ahmadi Muslims. Its title signifies that Muhammad is the final of the prophets, whereas Ahmadis are a minority Muslim sect who consider the Prophet Mohammad just isn’t the final and closing messenger.
One other image of Stockwell Inexperienced Mosque with the quantity 35 and its title in 1989, Aalami Majlise Tahaffuze Khatme Nubuwwat, in conjunction with the door.
Confusingly this constructing nonetheless seems to be Grade II listed as Stockwell Inexperienced United Reformed Church, though it was bought to the mosque in 1988, when that church moved to smaller premises. It additionally offers the handle as Union Mews. The itemizing textual content says it’s a classical chapel courting from round 1830. It was referred to as Stockwell New Chapel and was the place William Sales space and Catherine Mumford the founders of The Salvation Military have been married on seventeenth June 1855.
I’m stunned that when it was listed in 1981 a extra actual date couldn’t be given as most chapels have basis stones with names and dates. It was in-built 1798, however was prolonged and given this facade by architect Hames Wilson in 1850.
I went again to Landor Highway and made one other image of the Anglican St Andrew’s Church seen from the nook of Stockwell Inexperienced, displaying the oversize round window at its east finish, likely a part of H E Roe’s Romanesque rebuilding in 1867.
The home on the left, 22 Stockwell Inexperienced is early nineteenth century and Grade II listed.
I believe this may increasingly have been an entrance to the Plough pub, on the nook of Stockwell Inexperienced and with the handle 90 Stockwell Highway, although nothing there resembles this now.
The Plough had been on this web site since brewery information started in 1666, however was rebuilt within the Nineteen Thirties as a Truman pub designed by A E Sewell. It was a well-known jazz venue within the Nineteen Sixties and 70s with performances by a few of Britain’s finest jazz musicians and a few dwell recordings have been made within the bar.
By the Nineties the viewers for dwell jazz had declined and two letters of its title had fallen from the signal and it was relaunched as a garish bar, the Plug. However this was unsuccessful and closed in 2001. The higher flooring at the moment are residential however the floor flooring appears to nonetheless be empty 22 years later.
Constructed as Ingram Home, architect Arthur T Bolton, it opened in 1905 as a residential membership for younger males and later was taken over the the YWCA for younger girls. In 1937 it grew to become King George’s Home, a house for working boys aged 14-18 run by the John Benn Boys’ Hostel Affiliation. It’s now run by Evolve Housing as “an 87 mattress service for single homeless younger individuals from 16 years of age with a variety of assist wants.“
The moderately tall gates have been firmly locked once I made this image from the road.
Cassell Home is in Stockwell Gardens West and has flat numbers 1-81. The property was constructed by the London County Council from round 1930 on. Cassell Home is a big advanced with this curved block behind a gaggle of buildings together with the Swan pub on the nook of Clapham Highway and Stockwell Highway roughly reverse the Stockwell Underground Station.
Stockwell’s most well-known gardens, the botanical gardens of John Tradescant lay a bit of to the north.
A number of extra of the ‘lacking’ photos in a later publish.
