Description
View from Old Brompton Road looking towards shops on Pelham Street, South Kensington. The entrance to South Kensington underground station (Grade II listed; listing number 1392067) on Pelham Street is in view, designed by Leslie Green in 1907. Shops to the left of the station include an office equipment and typewriter shop, T. Kondvcki; Pelham Estate Offices; The Brazilian Yerbama Co., selling Yerbama; ‘Life-preserving Tea’ from Parana in Brazil and a restaurant and snack bar. Several pedestrians are in view including three women wearing fur coats and a stole; one of whom is crossing the road using a zebra crossing with Belisha Beacons and a tall, ornate lamppost. Vehicles include a motorcycle with pillion seat in the foreground, a ‘Dring’s Sausages’ van and a newspaper van parked to the right with ‘The Star’ written on the side, and an advert on top which reads ‘Amazing Exploits, Unknown Air Ace’. The taller buildings behind the station are on Thurloe Street and the figure representing ‘Fame’ on the cupola of the Victoria and Albert Museum is on the skyline in the distance, above the Pelham Estate Offices shop.
