Newly-built apartment buildings on the Minet Estate in Cormont Road, called Calais Gate. Myatt's Fields entrance gates are opposite, opened in 1889 on land donated by William Minet. The estate was intended purely as housing for the well off and restrictive covenants ensured that no shops or trade premises were built in the area. The buildings' gables have terracotta cats as finials, a symbol of the Minet Estate.From Linskey Postcard Collection.
