Lennox Gardens Mews
Lennox Gardens Mews runs north from Milner Street. It is cobbled and is quite exquisite. The west side is tree-lined with plenty of parking spaces for the residents. Some of the houses are painted and others are brick. There is a great mixture of styles. The northern end of the mews runs into Walton Street. It has the well known ‘Toto’s’ and also overlooks the old magistrates court which has now been turned into residential accommodation.
W H Willis of Cromwell Road is recorded as having built six houses on the east side of Lennox Gardens. It is known that he also built the mews houses between 1883 and 1886.
The houses are only on one side of the cobbled street which winds between Walton Street and Milner Street. As with all mews properties, they have been heavily altered to form houses.
Generally they are two-storey houses with dormer windows in a mansard roof. They appear to have been built with flat arches in brick above the ground and first floor windows, which gives a pleasant unifying effect to the houses as a group.
The overall impression is of a quiet village street.
