Clerkenwell Close

 

This is a HD DarkNite  version. For those who want to see the game at its best.

 

The Clerkenwell Close terrace row is based on a real building row at London’s Clerkenwell.  This is a late Georgian townhouse, built around 1792-94. In my opinion quite typical of Georgian period townhouse in this part of London.  Modest houses, but quite possibly intended for artisan / skilled worker family house.  Something today we would call as the middle class, although back then there would have been servant’s rooms in the dormer.

 

Often the townhouses were divided in to rented room lodgings and this in my mind, I have made the BATs as low wealth residence and commerce buildings.

 

Originally this was a six house row, but today only two remain. Other four has been demolished in 1950’s to make room for nearby St James Church’s garden. Two of the houses were renovated by the Islington Council. Houses were in bad shape and most of the outer walls were rebuilt. I have based my model on 1956 drawing, although I have made some simplifications. Thus the modern houses are slight different, for example the roof is different shape now.

 

The corner houses are fictional, just based on my imagination and only with style are companions for the terrace row. As it is difficult to grow right corner combination, I offer the corner commercial buildings as ploppable version. So that a player can finish the terrace row with matching corner building. I have also included custom foundations, but I would not call these buildings slope friendly.  These are tolerant for slight elevation, but do not function well in hilly region.

I have tested the files, but please let me know if you spot any errors or mistakes.  I had all kind of issues while making the Bats, so something could have slipped into final models.

 

Enjoy
