Title
View of Goldsmiths Row
Description
A busy street scene in front of 150-164 Goldsmiths Row in Haggerston. All but one of the two-storey buildings with ground-floor shops are empty and boarded up. The newsagent shop displays publications with titles such as Boy’s Friend, The Star, Racing World and Famous Crimes; newspaper headlines include ‘Palmer the Poisoner’ and ‘Fatal East End Fight’; several women’s fashion publications can also be seen. There are large ads for Ogden’s Cigarettes and The News of The World. The people shown on the right include a group of boys, various adults and two policemen, all of them looking at the camera. On the left a young girl and beyond her a woman in a white apron is sitting down. Several figures are indistinct because of motion blur. These buildings were badly damaged by a V1 flying bomb during World War II and were replaced by the LCC’s Whiston House and, more recently, a modern apartment building.
