Eliot Place, Blackheath, 1864

Eliot Place, Blackheath, 1864
Engraving published by Rock & Co, 11th August 1864

Benjamin Disraeli went to school there and a blue plaque records the residence of Sir James Clark Ross, the polar explorer, at No.2. The part of the Heath opposite became a semi-private playing field for the boarding schools in Eliot Place.

Eliot Place, a row of detached and semi-detached houses on the edge of the Heath, was built between 1795 and 1802.

It survives intact except for No. 9, which was rebuilt in 1911.
