       St Joseph and the Sacred Heart
      (R.C.), London Road. The old, small, featureless red brick church of 1864
      stands by the side of the new, large, inappropriately Early Christian or
      Byzantine or Italian Romanesque, equally red church with its separate high
      campanile. Only the top of the campanile goes a kind of free Renaissance.
      The church has a semicircular porch with green marble columns ... The
      church is of 1923-8 by W.C. Mangan. 
      An impressive structure despite Pevsner's purist views.  |

       London Road No.40 has a flat
      Gothic three-bay front with battlements. The doorway has an ogee arch and
      thin tripartite shafts, the windows are straight-headed. ... At the top of
      Broadway (where London Road meets Oxford Street)
      is the Clock Tower, with a colonnaded base like a market cross. It dates
      from 1929. 
      Thames Court, 20-22 The Broadway, behind the clock tower, looks 17th
      century but with much renovation. Most, but not all, of the brickwork
      looks well-renovated whilst the window pediments look old. Pevsner makes
      no mention of the house.  |

       No. 27, Oxford Street, once
      more Early Georgian, five bays, segment-headed windows, but round-arched
      ground-floor windows and mid-window, and a little further on, the High
      House, Late Georgian, of three storeys. Opposite is No. 2 Bath Road, a
      very fine house of five bays, blue and red, with strong angle pilasters, a
      three-bay pediment, and again segment-headed windows. The house has a date
      1720 on the roof. The porch with Roman Doric columns and a pediment is
      later.  |
