Description: | This photo shows Regent Street, one of the foremost shopping streets in London for quality goods. On the right are the original premises of Dickens and Jones, with pale awnings below an Ionic-columned facade. The store was already an established department store, famous for its silks and other fabrics. The shop has a row of horse-drawn hansom cabs waiting outside. In the background is a motorised Tilling bus.
Verrey's Restaurant is on the left. The TV chef Ainsley Harriot started his career in this leading Victorian restaurant in the late 20th century. In the background on the left is Jay's, a 'mourning warehouse' that supplied all types of mourning clothes and other funerary items. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | LS&P Co | Subjects: | Leisure Cityscape | Temporal: | 1906 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
