Interior of a house in Red Lion Street
Description
First-floor room at 22 Red Lion Street, Wapping. The floor is of wooden planks. The walls are covered in flock wallpaper and have picture rails. The ceiling has a frieze of plaster leaves and roses all round it. The room contains double and single brass beds. The double has three mattresses on it; the single has a thick mattress and blankets. Both have a stool next to them and there is a wooden box under the single bed. There is a wicker armchair next to the fireplace. The fireplace is brick with a metal surround and has a screen in front of it. On the mantlepiece is half a candle and a tin and there is a rug in front of the fire. Behind the beds, the window is recessed, with fluted columns either side of it. It has a pelmet but no curtains and some of the panes are covered with paper. A roll of fabric is standing in the window recess. This house no longer exists. Between 1926 and 1932, the street was redeveloped as part of London County Council’s Wapping housing scheme.
