Title
Houses and shops in Whitfield Street
Description
A view along Whitfield Street, Fitzrovia, showing four-storey buildings at numbers 145 to 157. Shop front of Boscacci, Moresi & Co. is visible at 157 and W. Kochan at 153. Three pedestrians are walking along the pavement. Cars are parked along the street. Some shops look abandonded, with windows sealed with corrugated iron sheeting and wooden boards. The buildings at 151 to 155 have been demolished. The BT Tower, formerly GPO Tower, is visible in the background. The street suffered severely from air raids during World War II; most of its buildings have been replaced. Nowadays, a brown plaque at number 145 proclaims that 'The First Settlement Of The Nepali Community Began On This Site In 1965'.
