| In the late 19th Century the United Land Company Ltd acquired a patch of north Fulham for development |
| Disbrowe Road was built in the 1880s with two houses at the western end of the terrace on one plot – |
| No. 1 is the manager's house and No. 3 is the foreman's house, with a passageway through No. 1 leading to workshops behind |
| This very unusual, possibly unique, arrangement served the residents well for almost a hundred years |
| The first owner was Mr A. Greenaway, Arthur or maybe Alfred |
| Businesses located at 1 Disbrowe Road traded successfully |
| However after the Second World War firms came and went more frequently |
| – if you have any photographs of workers on site then please do |
| The commercial site at No. 1 was used as a 'Fish Factory' and when this folded a Greengrocer's distribution centre |
| In the early 1970s the plot was split up when No. 3 was sold off and the workshops behind were converted into bedsits |
| Next these were made into a single family dwelling and in January 1972 split off from No. 1 to become No. 1A (now No. 1½) |
| For the first time the three buildings were in separate ownership but with rights of way in common |
|
|
| In June 1977 a Silver Jubilee Street Party was held in Disbrowe Road |
| The family who owned No. 1½ ('The Mews House') sold up and moved away in March 2016 |
| The new owners of 'The Mews House' submitted an application to demolish No. 1½ to the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham |
| On 30th March 2021 planning permission was refused by Joanne Woodward, Chief Planning Officer |
| On 30th April 2021 a new application to demolish No. 1½ was published online |
| On 25th June 2021 planning permission was granted by the Chief Planning Officer |
| On 24th June 2024 planning permission 2021/01405/FUL lapsed |
