Title
Derelict shop in Rhodeswell Road
Description
Front elevation of a derelict shop at 142 Rhodeswell Road, on the corner of Tye Street, Limehouse, and a derelict house at number 140, viewed from the corner of Endive Street looking north-west. Tye Street no longer exists but was opposite Endive Street and led into Galt Street. The shop’s name is C&H Stores. The shop and house are boarded up with aluminium sheeting although a door at the right-hand side of the shop and the windows are not boarded up. The wall at the side of the shop has a stabilising metal bolt in it and the door at the right-hand side of the shop has a boot scraper beside it. In the window above the shop door is an advert for Calvert’s disinfectant, with some of the letters missing. There is a chair at the front with the reference 118, 140-142 F (for front) chalked on it, which indicates that demolition is imminent. The shop has a flat roof with a television aerial attached. Five chimneypots are visible, with three on one brick chimney and two on another. On the left-hand side of the shop on the wall is painted in white Coal and Coke, with an arrow pointing to behind the shop, where another building is partly visible. Also at that side, two cars are parked.
