Title
Shops in Tomlin's Terrace
Description
M Watson’s newsagent’s and tobacconist’s shop in Tomlin's Terrace, Limehouse, probably at number 26, and a neighbouring shop, viewed from Tomlin's Terrace looking south. The newsagent’s has adverts for the News of the World, Wills’s Gold Flake and Woodbine, Wild Woodbine, A1 Light and Players cigarettes on its front and also for A1 Light on its side wall. The shop window is full of goods and a woman and boy are looking at them. A metal shop sign is hanging over the shop window. The shop next door has its shutters closed. Both buildings are two-storey and between their first-floor windows is part of a street sign which reads “ ...ns ...race ... 14” (probably Tomlin's Terrace E14). The street is cobbled. At the left next to the newsagent’s is an empty space with a makeshift wooden fence extending behind the shop. Further behind some vehicles are visible that look like vans and a caravan and there is some laundry hung out to dry. Four telegraph poles can also be seen. These buildings no longer exist; in their place is a block of flats.
