Description

This is for fun. The path N-S is shown on the 1870 OS map as Clarendon Grove along the back of houses on Chalton Street. Even in 1870 it passed under a building opposite the impressive looking Polygon in Clarendon Square (now Phoenix Road) The road to the north is still named Polygon Road. A map surveyed in 1914 shows The Polygon, gone so not a casualty of the blitz. Also many houses to the east had gone since 1870 under the Midland Railway Goods Shed, now the site of the British Library and Francis Crick Institute. The other footpath section of this Slow Way was opened in September 2017 it is named after the late Sir Naim Dangoor, his name appears on the list of donors whose generosity is acknowledged by Cancer Research UK
