Note 2: Further activity in Raphael Street [Kensington] took place in 1852/3 with the erection of a row of five shops (which became Nos 33/37) on the shallow plots opposite the Pakenham Tavern. They were the work of a Kensington builder, Francis J. Attfield. Another builder, George Day of New Kent Road, was responsible for the remainder of the south side of the street, built up in 1854/5, and Nos 10 and 11 on the north side, built in 1854. Both Attfield and Day were presumably working under contract not as speculators, for in August 1853 all their houses ... were leased directly by Raphael's heirs to a West End solicitor, Frederick William Dolman ....
Day's houses ... were built close to the pavement edge, with gratings to light the basements or cellars. They had stuccoed window surrounds and roundarched entrances. The Pakenham Tavern was large and showy; its curved and fully stuccoed façade was echoed across the road by Attfield's shops.

Obituary:
The death occurred at his residence, Ashlands, Catford, on Saturday, of Mr John Attfield, FRS, for over 30 years Professor of Practical Chemistry to the Pharmaceutical Society. He was 75 years of age. The funeral will take place at Golders Green on Wednesday at 12:30.
The Times, 20.3.1911

The death of Mr John Attfield took place at Ashlands, Watford, and not at Catford as stated. A correspondent writes that it was largely through Mr Attfield's efforts as editor of the Addendum to the Pharmacopaeia (publ. 1890) that the collaboration of medical men and pharmacists in the production of the Pharmacopaeia was first openly effected. Mr Attfield was also the author of a Manual of Chemistry, which reached 19 editions, and in addition to his work as a teacher had a large practice as a consulting and analytical chemist.
