Title
Buildings in Plough Yard
Description
A view of the front elevations of commercial buildings in Plough Yard, Shoreditch. The buildings on the left of the street no longer exist. A sign on one wall lists vacancies for jobs in the textile trade, including overlockers and trouser machinists, at companies including P&M Wilko. Textiles replaced the timber and furniture making trades that had been widespread in this part of Shoreditch in the 19th and 20th centuries. Buildings on the right have been modernised and survive. The road surface is cobbled. The bridge in the distance carried a railway line north from Broad Street Station and it no longer exists. A sign on a wall at the right reads "National Union Bank". Two cars and a van can be seen in the distance.
