Title
Home and Colonial Store in Chrisp Street
Description
A rear view of the former Home and Colonial Store at 44 Chrisp Street from Tetley Street, Poplar. A door into the back premises can be seen in the brick wall just behind a truck displaying an advertisement for Cherry Blossom shoe polish. In front is an estate car with a wooden crate in the back seat, and behind is a hand cart and a parked saloon car. In the distance on the left can be glimpsed the shopping arcades and market stalls of the newly built Chrisp Street Market, including a prominent sign for Dewhurst Butchers. Neither the Home and Colonial store, once one of the UK's largest grocery chains, nor Tetley Street exist today. The site is occupied by a car park. Chrisp Street Market was the country's first purpose-built pedestrian shopping precinct, developed as part of the Festival of Britain in 1951. It lies within the Lansbury Conservation Area.
