Making an Entrance – a Talk by Ray Rogers
13th May 2025 @ 7:00 pm
An illustrated talk celebrating the special architectural qualities of Crouch End’s houses built at the end of the nineteenth century.
The houses were built by a small number of enterprising developers and builders, using the latest manufacturing advances when for the first time mass produced elements became available from builders’ catalogues.
The talk focuses on the extraordinary variety in the doors and porches of Crouch End’s houses, which are a local treasure trove of Victorian and Edwardian domestic architecture and decorative art.
