Description
A view of the front elevations of corner properties at 13-15 Park Street, Southwark. Number 13 Park Street was originally built as a three -storey house in 1831 and later converted to a shop. Number 15 was originally a granary warehouse, situated immediately adjacent to a railway viaduct leading into Cannon Street station. Number 13 has a closed split wooden door entrance. To the left is a wider shuttered entrance encompassing a padlocked inner door. In front of this is a cart, possibly for street cleaning. To the left is the opening to a yard. Above the doors is the painted signage for Hinton and Woolgar Ltd. Number 15 Park Street has a low entrance door at ground level, together with two glazed windows with bars across. On the upper storeys are glazed windows protected by wire and two sets of wooden warehouse doors. The word GRANARIES can be seen on the wall above one of the ground floor windows. Parked on the pavement is a motorised scooter. Notwithstanding gentrification, these buildings remain the same and have been used as retail premises, as well as film locations.
