About Collier Row
What are the main landmarks in Collier Row?
Collier Row turns on its churches. St James stands among the streets, with The Ascension close by and The Good Shepherd serving the far side of the district. There is little else monumental here, and no grand square or river to name.
The parishes carry the place instead, three small churches spread over a quiet suburb of London. Faith, not grandeur.
What is the history of Collier Row?
Collier Row began as a small settlement well outside the built-up city, a scatter of houses that later hardened into streets. Its churches came to mark the place, with St James, The Ascension and The Good Shepherd serving the growing parish. Then London reached this far out.
Open ground slowly became an ordinary suburb of houses and shops, the fields giving way street by street. The churches stayed at its heart.
Where is Collier Row?
Collier Row lies within London, its streets set back from the centre and gathered around St James, The Ascension and The Good Shepherd.
