TQ3082NE BRITANNIA STREET
798-1/91/1815 (North East side)
11/03/94 Derby Lodge, formerly Derby
Buildings, flats Nos.1-36

GV II

Flatted philanthropic accommodation. 1865. By the Improved
Industrial Dwellings Company founded by Sydney Waterlow;
builder Matthew Allen. Painted stucco cement treated as banded
rustication to the ground floor; the same material used on
balcony-stair recesses (treated as Tuscan pilastrade) and to
window aedicules. Cast-iron railings to balconies of authentic
lattice pattern; metal filigree spandrels to brick pier
supporting balcony; metal railings to roof over recess; infill
to ground floor for security purposes; late C20 wall treated
as banded rustication to match original.
EXTERIOR: 5 storeys. Nos 1-10 with one-window, brick range to
either side of full-height balcony recess which is divided
into two broad bays by a brick pier with stylised capital from
which spring filigree spandrels to lintels. Nos 11-36 entered
off similar balcony-stair recess; the flanking ranges to
either side, however, have two windows each, suggesting a
different plan form. Another notable difference is the small
round-arched lancet with screen-like inset found between each
pair of windows to this section. The ground-floor windows to
block containing units 1-10 are tripartite.
INTERIORS: not inspected.
Forms a group with Derby Lodge (formerly Buildings), flats
37-102, to the south in Wicklow Street (qv). Among the
earliest surviving examples of the work of Waterlow's
influential and prolific IIDC.
