Cramer Court between numbers 10 and 12 has a surprising link with the
history of cinema. From 1914 the former Chatham Club became the film factory
of Cherry Kearton. His(??) output included films of African wildlife but
most notably the 1914 war film The Whirlpool of War. The studio was taken
over by Bertram Phillips who made the 1923 version of A School for Scandal.
When he decided to move his studio into his home in Thornton Road, De Forest
Phono Films (one of the first talkie studios in the UK took over).
