Denyer House, Highgate Road.
The Council entered into negotiations with the London, Midland & Scottish Railway Co.
for a site of approximately three acres upon which to provide working class accommodation.
The land was situated at the rear of Twisden Road, extending from Highgate Road to York
Rise. The Railway Company, however, decided to retain this land in view of their commitments
to rehouse families who would be displaced owing to the reconstruction of Euston
Station.
Subsequently the London County Council acquired a portion of this site, approximately
§ acre, on Highgate Road frontage. The County Council agreed to transfer their
interests in this piece of land to the Borough Council, so that it could be developed under the
provisions of the Housing Act, 1930, for working class accommodation. The scheme was
carried out by the Council's Architect, Mr. A. J. Thomas, F.R.I.B.A., and consists of 44 flats,
comprising 22 3-room, 18 4-rooin and 4 5-room dwellings, a total 158 rooms, exclusive of
kitchens, bathrooms, etc. Each flat is provided with a separate bathroom, with hand basin,
and a separate w.c. The contractors are Tarran Industries, Ltd. The cost of the site,
exclusive of legal fees, etc., was £3,000, and the building contract is in t he sum of
£26,193 9s. 8d. The estate was named after Councillor C. H. Denyer, m.a., a former Mayor
of the Borough, in view of his great interest in the provision of accommodation for the
working classes.
The tenancies were allocated to families displaced by the Council's Orders from slum
clearance areas and other insanitary property. The building was opened by His Worship
the Mayor (Alderman R. F. W. Fincham, F.C.A., J.P.) on the 22nd October, 1936.
The accommodation is subsidised by the Exchequer and also from the rates.
