Title
Shops in Rhodeswell Road
Description
CJ Squibb’s English & Colonial butcher’s shop at 27 Rhodeswell Road, Limehouse, looking north-east. The two-storey building has two front doors, one for the shop and one for the rooms above. Both doors have rectangular fanlights. Between the two first-floor windows is a hook for a shop sign but it is empty. In the shop window sausages and joints are hanging on a metal frame, there are eight plates holding meats and other goods are displayed on small shelves at each side of the window. The shop is lit by two light bulbs without shades over them. There is a window at the back of the shop against which a seated figure is silhouetted. In front of the figure is a weighing scale and brass weights. A ladder in a back room is visible through the window as is another window. On the left of the shop is the Sussex Laundry at number 25. On the right, the shop at number 29 has its blinds down. The pavement in front of the shops has two levels (the lower level being for cattle) and the street is cobbled. These buildings no longer exist. The site was included in the Locksley Estate development in 1957-58 and is now part of Mile End Park.
