The houses south of the church were incorporated into a department store c.1900, and have now been demolished.

This northern group (17 - 31 Lewisham High Street) survives little altered, but several of the houses have become offices.

The photograph was taken on 4th July 1980.

St.Stephen's Church and St.Stephan's Terrace (eight houses north of the church and six to the south) were built in 1865 in a prominent position in Lewisham High Street, close to Lewisham Station.

The houses were built with commuting businessmen in mind.
