ASHFIELD
Lapish Avenue
Main Period: Victorian - Interwar
Leadlight apparent at No’s 2 & 4
Lapish Avenue is a small street with Interwar houses and units on one side and small business and modern terraces/townhouses on the other.
Only two samples of leadlight exist.
The Interwar flats at the top end of the street actually have a Liverpool Road address but have a wonderful Art Deco panel in the first floor stairwell set in textured brickwork that faces Lapish Avenue..
Lapish Avenue
No 4 is one of a group of built during semi-detached houses built in World War II (1940) as speculative housing. The radiant design at No 4 in the three panel double hung angle bay uses convex shapes in combination with heavily textured glass and an absence of colour that also reflects the Art Deco aesthetic.
​
While the houses are mentioned in The 2001 Ashfield Heritage Study Review of Areas Zoned 2(a) the leadlight is not recorded.
