Page "Barnes, London" Paragraph 6

Castelnau, in north Barnes and on the banks of the river, has a small church, Holy Trinity.

The area between Castelnau and Lonsdale Road contains a 1930s council estate ( including roads such as Nowell Road, Stillingfleet Road and Washington Road ), mostly consisting of " Boot Houses ", constructed by the Henry Boot company.

These houses no longer meet building regulations and need to have their external walls reconstructed.

This means that new buyers cannot get a mortgage on un-reconstructed houses and so residents of this area have usually lived in their houses for a long time ( in some cases it being passed down ).
