Title
Maples shop in Tottenham Court Road
Description
A view of the front elevation of a substantial shop building housing the home furnishing retailer Maples at 141-150 Tottenham Court Road, Bloomsbury, looking south from near Euston Road. The building has three floors above the shop and features many classical elements, including Corinthian columns and pilasters at ground-floor level and a Greek key design at the roof parapet which is topped with urns. Ornate lamp posts stand on the pavement outside the Maple's entrance. An RT London bus can be seen on the right behind a van. In the distance are two trolleybuses heading south. Several pedestrians can be seen, some crossing the road. The Maples building no longer exists and a later Maples House with shops on the ground floor and accommodation above occupies the site. The building on the right behind the bus includes numbers 121 to 134 Tottenham Court Road and houses shops, restaurants and a hotel at number 130. It still exists. Maples went into receivership in 1997.
