Yup! Didn’t know Teddington had a ‘West End’ until I saw this plaque.
11. I live in Clarence Rd. The building was called Craig Hall. It used to be used for yoga classes and other community activities, but was sold to a developer a few years ago and was converted in to two domestic dwellings.
Thanks Sian – interesting!
11 was the methodist church until money was given to build the new on. There was renamed Craig Hall and recently redeveloped as a house.
Hope that helps you a bit.
