These
houses (nos. 50 - 32 Deptford High Street)
were built near the southern end of the road
between 1775 and 1792.
The nearer two houses, which were the oldest,
have now been demolished.
All were intended as private dwellings for
skilled workmen, and some would undoubtedly
have been occupied by shipwrights.
Commercial uses took over in the mid 19th
century, helping to produce the High Street
with "almost as many styles of building
as houses, the only agreement being that all
have shop fronts". |
