About the building

This was probably the coachman’s or butler’s house for No 7. See the description of the premises under No 5,7,9.

Iron Gate to the walled garden. There is a terrace at the bottom of the garden, with an archway underneath it to”7 Coners Lane”. The garden overlooks what was once Lewis’ Iron Foundry, also to Dover’s the printers, and Price’s Yard which was once tennis courts. This was the land on which the former Catholic Church, then Dover’s the Printers, stood.
