Title
Shop in Old Kent Road
Description
Edgington shopfront selling tents and camping equipment at 108 Old Kent Road, Southwark. The factory lay behind the shopfront and the business had moved there from Tooley Street in 1832. It remained until 1967 when it was demolished to make way for the Bricklayer’s Arms flyover. There is now a Lidl supermarket situated on the site. The upper-floor windows above the shopfront and on both sides, are framed with louvre style shutters. The name of the company, which was established in 1805, together with a painting of a sailing ship and descriptions of their crafts are painted on the exterior front wall. A reproduction ship’s mast flies a flag above the ground-floor shop level surrounded by elaborate painted hoardings. The ground floor extends into the street with a pillared portico and the signage Tent Makers above. There is a laundry adjacent to Edgington on the left, in front of which there is a tall electric street lamp with a bus stop sign attached. There is a gentleman waiting at the bus stop, wearing a hat and baggy suit with shirt and tie, carrying either a large paper or duffle bag in his arm. There are also two women waiting who are chatting. They are wearing wearing summer blazers, dresses, strappy shoes and are carrying handbags.
