Title
Buildings in Newcomen Street
Description
Front elevations of 68-69 Newcomen Street, Borough. The three-storey buildings date from c1830 and a plaque marked "Mrs.N" between the first-floor windows of 69 identifies them as part of Mrs Newcomen's Charity. A seventeenth-century resident of the area, she set up a trust funded by rents from her properties in order to clothe and teach poor children in the area, and the street, previously King Street, was named after her in 1879. At number 68 are Albion Dining Rooms, whilst 69 is occupied by Vincent Ruocco, gentlemen's hairdresser. The gates at the entrance to Arthur Morris & Co. hop warehouse at number 70 are just visible on the right. Numbers 68-69 Newcomen Street were demolished in the latter half of the twentieth century and replaced with commercial properties.
