Property Description
Situated in North-East London in the Borough of Redbridge, is Rigby Mews; a cobbled cul-de-sac off Cranbrook Road. The Mews contains 8 properties used for residential and commercial purposes. It is located on the site of an original Mews but has been re-developed to a degree that it no longer contains any surviving Mews properties.
The Mews is not part of a Conservation Area. A parachute mine fell onto Mansfield Road, south-west of the Mews in World War II.
The two storey properties have plain brickwork facades and gable roof styles, surrounded by a cobbled road surface with no garages and restricted parking.
Everchanging Nature
The original purpose of the Mews was to provide stable/ coach house accommodation for the main houses on the surrounding streets and nowadays they are used for a mixture of residential and commercial purposes.
Before and since 2003 there have been a few planning applications made for alterations to the properties within the Mews, the most notable being; the partial demolition of many properties and the erection of newer developments and the change of use from residential to commercial offices.
