Newbury Mews, originally accessed from Malden Road, started as stables linked to upscale homes. Development replaced rural fields with housing, with the mews appearing on maps from the 1870s. It functioned as 'stables with dwellings' noted on Goad's insurance map in 1887. As horse use declined, the area transitioned to light industrial use. By 2002, modern houses, designed by Brooks Murray Architects, replaced the dilapidated structures, after navigating spatial regulations and neighborhood concerns.
Newbury Mews, accessed from Malden Road, was initially a row of stables linked to posher houses and underwent transformation over the years. The mews, absent from Stanford's 1866 map, appears on an 1870 OS map, confirming its existence a few years later. Later, industrial use took over the stables until 2002 when planning permission allowed for modern housing developments designed by Brooks Murray Architects.
Goad's insurance map of 1887 refers to the alley as 'stables with dwellings over', validating its function as a stable area. However, the industrial phase saw old stables replaced by brick structures. The site faced challenges in housing development due to regulations on window distances and neighbor concerns regarding building height.
