Title
Houses and shops in Whitfield Street
Description
A view along Whitfield Street, Fitzrovia, showing four-storey buildings at numbers 145 to 157. The buildings are derelict and dilapidated, and 151 to 155 have been demolished. The shops look abandonded with windows sealed with corrugated iron sheeting and wooden boards. Shop front of Enterprise Polisher Ltd is visible at 151 and W. Kochan at 153. Cars are parked along the street, with a Ford Escort visible in the foreground. The BT Tower, formerly GPO Tower, can be seen 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'.
