Dive throughs and back ways of Richmond 4 - # 109
Through Union Court to Waterloo Place to reach the Quadrant. This is very convenient for those having a house in the delightful Vineyard area on the hillside above the town. Nip down Vineyard Passage, across Paradise Rd., into Union Court.
Exit Union Court through the tunnel-like alley - (the photographic challenge for me in Union Court was to get an expressive tunnel shot that gave a good focus and exposure of Waterloo Place right at the very end) - and hit Waterloo Place.
These cottages - built sometime between 1710 and 1830; I haven't done the research, so I'm making an educated guess looking at the window style, and brick work - are a fine example of the working men's homes that have somehow survived in the very centre of the town. I love this little dive through. (Oops - I've just noticed my tripod in the corner! ;-) ).
