50-82 A typical example of how Clapham High Street has "grown up". You can see quite grand semi detached houses which have been converted into a terrace by extra houses being built in the gaps around the 1890s. At a similar time the front gardens, which must have made the High Street look lovely, were built over to create shops. This type of development can be seen all up and down the High Street. Parts of this terrace are quite old. 56-58 and 64-66 are probably from around 1780. 50-52 were built around 1835 but were probably significantly rebuilt in the 1880s when Edgeley Road was cut through to the High street. Looking at these buildings from the rear, from Edgeley Lane, you can clearly see where buildings have been added between the original houses. Well worth a two minute detour.
