Title
Shops in Borough High Street
Description
View of shop fronts at 218-220 Borough High Street, Southwark. This part of Borough High Street was known as Blackman Street until 1889. These are two three-storey buildings in differing styles with empty shop fronts on the ground floor. Number 220 has two doors marked 'Entrance' and 'No Entrance'. Across the first floor is a large sign DISTIL COFFEE: a coffee and chicory essence manufactured in Southwark. Three men and a woman walk past the building. This site was excavated in 1979 and finds included seven green transfer-printed plates and three similar bowls bearing the inscription ``Hinton's Eating House 96 Blackman St.Boro''. The site was occupied between 1828 and 1843 by John Hinton, a cook. In 1904 the building was occupied by Fred Braby & Co., Galvanisers. The buildings have been redeveloped into apartments with a restaurant on the ground floor.
