Title
Corner of Chalton Street and Clarendon Square
Description
A view of the front elevations of buildings in Chalton Street and Clarendon Square, Somers Town, and the corner where they meet. Four people are visible at the corner, two women together and two separate men. One of these is wearing a trilby and leaning on a bollard reading a newspaper. The other is bearded and wears a peaked cap. The corner building has its front elevation to the right facing Clarendon Square with its front door up a flight of steps. It is double-fronted here with a window either side of the door and three windows in the first and second floors. It has two windows in the side elevation facing Chalton Street. To its right is an advertising hoarding where products include the LMS (London, Midland, Scottish railway) holiday guide, Nestle's milk, Black & White whisky and Chivers jellies. The Bedford Palace Theatre of Varieties is advertising "London Nights". A boxing night at the Albert Hall features a bout between Teddy Baldock (1907-1971) from the East End of London and American Archie Bell. Bell was paid £1,000 to travel to London for the bout for the vacant world bantamweight title. Baldock won by a decision over 15 rounds and was feted in his home district of Poplar. Houses on the left in Chalton Street have four storeys over the basement and are two windows wide. The buildings no longer exist.
