Addington Square, completed by 1855, was probably named after Henry Addington, Prime Minister from 1801-1804. The houses were built on three sides around a private communal garden, the northern side once occupied by a commercial swimming bath, which later became the site of King George's Fields, now within Burgess Park. The garden was restored as a public amenity in 1897 and it is largely lawn with floral displays, and trees including mature planes. |
