Description: | This 1920 aerial view of Wimbledon shows a semi-rural scene with large detached houses in spacious wooded grounds.
Most residential roads were not laid out until the 1880s, even though the railway came to Wimbledon in 1838. Wimbledon station was one of the first in south London. It was situated half a mile from Wimbledon village in open country.
Wimbledon Theatre opened in 1910 and was still a successful repertory theatre in 2006. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Copyright unknown - London Transport Museum collection | Subjects: | Cityscape Home and Family | Temporal: | 1920 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Photographer : Air Co | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
