Magnificent Imperial Surbiton - # 09/37

It's too easy to make fun of Surbiton, so please feast your eyes for a while on magnificent St. Andrew's Sq: built at the end of the 19th century at the height of "Imperial Magnificence" when the world atlas was indeed almost totally red. Click to enlarge and enjoy the attention to detail in these fine houses.

  3. Hi Roon! Sorry for the absence! It has been hard to get some free time... ;)
    Wow! This is a place to live... ;)
    Not like Seething Wells... ;)

    Now, «The Masterpiece» waits you and your comments at Blogtrotter. You shouldn’t miss it, believe me... ;). Enjoy and have a great weekend!

  4. I think though, that I will start a subscription to have the railings replaced! Maybe they could manufacture them from unused Gulf War munitions. (not everyone will get that, I suppose)
