Title
Boots shop in Chrisp Street
Description
The former premises of Boots, dispensing chemists, at 75 Chrisp Street, Poplar. The building has two floors; the bottom floor has two large display windows now boarded up with timber planks and an entrance door in the middle at the end of a small 'in-go', also boarded up. Between the two multi-pane sash windows on the upper floor, decorative iron fixtures for a hanging sign can still be seen, although the sign itself is missing. The shop fascia is also still visible as are panels with the Boots logo at the top of the display windows. There are also timber panelled stall-risers. Next door on the left, a glimpse of the new Chrisp Street Market development can be seen at the far end of a rubble-strewn vacant plot. On the right is the entrance to Southill Street, with the Young Prince public house just visible on the edge of the photograph. None of these buildings exist today. The site of Boots is now part of the Co-Op supermarket and Southill Street is a dead end, servicing the back entrances to shops in Chrisp Street Market. Where the Young Prince pub was is now a community facility.
