Title
Houses in Doughty Street
Description
A view of the front elevations of Georgian terraced houses at 39-62 Doughty Street, Holborn, from the junction with Roger Street. All the houses have five storeys including a basement. The front elevation of number 62 with its grand entrance portico is at the far right of the picture in Roger Street. That elevation has blank windows - filled in with brick - near the corner in all four visible storeys. It has a large vertical sign on the corner reading "The Cable Press". This house appears to be a later addition than the rest of the row, which have uniform facades. The remaining properties have a set-back top storey. A blue plaque on the wall of number 58 now records that it was the home in the 1920s of authors Vera Brittain and Winifred Holtby. Many cars are parked in the street including a Ford Anglia 100E with registration number SUL330 in the foreground. Across the road, two men are looking under the bonnet of a car. Two women are walking towards the camera on the left hand side of the street. Completed by 1820, numbers 39-47 and 49-62 and their railings were Grade II listed in 1974, listing number 1356734 (number 48, Dickens's house, is listed separately).
