Black Prince Road
At this stop we have placed six mosaics and six ceramics in the tunnel at the river end of the road.
The Black Prince was Edward III’s eldest son, who was a medieval warrior responsible for victories at the Battles of Crecy (1346) and Poitiers (1356). The road is named after him because he owned Kennington Manor at the south end of Black Prince Road.
Examples of tiles and a Tinworth frieze sculpture decorate the outside of the Doulton’s old headquarters in Black Prince Road. The ceramics reference the work of Doulton’s Lambeth wares.
