From , writing about Henry Cavendish: "... like his father he was passionately interested in science .. established his own laboratory. On his father’s death in 1783 he moved this from their London home to a large mansion in Clapham, the site of which is at the junction of the present Cavendish Road and Clapham Common South Side. Henry used the upper rooms of the house as an observatory, the drawing room as a laboratory and had a forge in an adjoining room. The house became known as Cavendish House. It was demolished in 1905."
