17 The Pavement, Clapham, is an early nineteenth-century four-storey shop building facing the eastern part of Clapham Common in the Clapham conservation area of Lambeth. It was Grade II listed in 1955, listing number 1064962. This view shows the building’s entire frontage, its hoarding showing DEANE & CO. DISPENSING CHEMISTS. The business was founded in 1837 by Henry Deane, one of the first members of the Pharmaceutical Society, and although taken over by another chemist in the late nineteenth century, retained the name until it ceased trading in 1986. The shopfront has a central pair of doors with Doric columns to either side, both display windows have banners for KODAK FILM offering DEVELOPING PRINTING ENLARGING and colour film. A range of compact cameras are displayed to one side of the left-hand window, while the rest of the window space appears to show perfumery products, the LANCÔME brand shown heading one section to the right of the door. To the right of the shop front, an impressive wooden panelled door presumably served access to residential areas above the shop. Above the shopfront the cornice appears to incorporate awning hatches, above which an ornate cast iron balcony extends across the entire width of the shop. Four casement windows are set in arched recesses and a street sign in two rows THE PAVEMENT is fixed to the brick work to the right. The second-floor windows are set flush to the brickwork and a cornice heads the first and second-storey frontage. The third floor has a row of smaller and squarer casement windows with a less pronounced cornice above, a narrower band of plain-capped brickwork presenting the parapet. 17 The Pavement is now the Common café and the street pavement appears to have since been widened allowing tables and seating to extend outside. The ghost sign of DEANE & CO CHEMISTS, just visible on the third floor of the flanking wall, remains today. Part of the shops to either side at 16 and 18 The Pavement are also shown, number 16 dating back to the mid-to-late eighteenth century and Grade II listed in 1981 as 15 and 16 The Pavement, listing number 1064961.
