| Notes / History | Gateway to Paul Addingtons Villa located on the west bank of the Wandle below Phipps Bridge. Mr. Addington established varnish works factories in 1850s and build his residential villa, which later, in 1969 was used as a staff canteen for local paint workers of Hadfields (Merton) Ltd. The Villa was demolished in 1979, but Merton Park Department saved the Artful wrought iron gate, where initial ”A” – for Addington can be seen incorporated into the design in the top square of the gate in the metal works. |
