A somewhat eccentric Victorian pair; the corner windows by the front doors strike me as particularly unusual. Described as late Victorian is this description of the recent extension to no. 9, just visible on the far left; definitely in existence by 1887 as they appear on the large scale Ordnance Survey map published in that year.

1934-7, to the designs of A. J. Thomas, who was Lutyens' office manager until 1935. Described by the Buildings of England: London, 4 (1998), p.354, as "a cautious neo-Palladian design, with some Lutyens mannerisms". Portland stone cladding over a steel frame. List description: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1379162 .

Terrace of 8 shops with accommodation over, designed by Thomas Cubitt, and built c.1822 for the Bedford Estate, on its border, says the Buldings of England: London, 4 (1998), p.330, "so that the shops would not disturb the prime residential areas". Runs N from the E end of Woburn Walk and is part of the same development. List description: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1342088 .

Flats built for St Pancras Borough Council, 1907-8, to designs of Joseph and Smithem. Detail showing art nouveau railings.

1888-9 to designs of Sir Robert William Edis, was also colonel of the volunteers. Front of yellow stock brick with terracotta dressings. Now the Place Theatre. List description: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1342089 .

1888-9 to designs of Sir Robert William Edis, who was also colonel of the volunteers. The terracotta medallion of Mars and Minerva is by Thomas Brock . List description: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1342089 .

The wrought-iron war memorial screen and gates of 1926, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, seen through the entrance arch of the Tavistock Square front , with the west front of Lutyens' building , originally designed as the headquarters of the British Theosophical Society from 1911, but completed for the BMA, 1923-5, beyond. List description: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1378968 .

Mid-C19 pair of houses, of "unusual, careful design" according to the listing . The cast-iron railings in front of the left-hand house and flanking the bridge over the front area are presumably original, although the railings in front of the right-hand house have been replaced.

A Victorian pair, probably built c.1860 (cf. these comments on no. 18, a detached house in very similar style: "The land at 18 Old North Road was purchased in the late 1850’s for £36.00 by a collective of 11 local trades people including schoolmasters, builders, grocers and chemists, and a charity commission was established to the benefit of the Kneesworth Street Congregational Church. Building started 1st March 1860": www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-46294499.html ). Definitely in existence by 1887 as they appear on the large scale Ordnance Survey map published in that year but the lack of horns on the sashes of no.14 and the "Georgian survival" style help to confirm the earlier date.
