Richmond, London

Cardigan House was a country house located on Richmond Hill in London. It was constructed between 1791 for 1793 by architect Robert Mylne for the wealthy publisher Robert Sayer, but in 1794 it was rented by the Duke of Clarence who lived there until 1797 with his mistress the Irish actress Dorothea Jordan and their children. It then passed into the hands of the Earls of Cardigan as a country retreat in what was still rural Surrey. Another large property, Lansdowne House, was located nearby. It should not be confused with Cardigan House in Lincoln's Inn Fields, the London townhouse of the Earls. In 1817 Lady Cardigan hosted a birthday celebration for the Prince Regent at Cardigan House. The scene was depicted in an 1819 painting England: Richmond Hill, on the Prince Regent's Birthday by the artist J. M. W. Turner. In 1925 the house was purchased by the British Legion for expansion of the Poppy Factory on Petersham Road. It was demolished in 1970. Its grounds now form part of the Terrace Gardens.

The factory's production team continues to make remembrance wreaths by hand today.

Richmond Brewery Stores is a building on 18 Petersham Road in Richmond, London, England. Built in red brick, it has a tiled facade with "RICHMOND BREWERY STORES" in white lettering on blue.[1] Further to the south along Petersham Road was the brewery itself. Known as Lansdown Brewery, and operated by D Watney & Son, it was registered in April 1895, but is known to have been in existence at least as early as 1882 when the brewery design practice Davison, Inskipp & Mackenzie was engaged to extend the building. It was acquired by Brandon's Putney Brewery Ltd in 1915 and subsequently closed. By 1923 the National Fire Protection Company Limited occupied the former Brewery Stores building. In 1950 the toy manufacturer Rovex Plastics Limited, which made plastic toys for Marks and Spencer, bought the building for use as a factory, and the company's own nameplate was placed over "RICHMOND BREWERY STORES" during the firm's use of the building. By 1954, however, it was becoming obvious that the factory was quite inadequate to produce the volume of goods and, following the acquisition by Tri-ang, the factory moved to Margate in Kent in 1954.The Richmond and Twickenham Times reported in November 2014 that the building, now owned by a property developer, will be converted into offices and flats.
