Title
Shops in The Pavement and Clapham High Street
Description
This view shows the shopfronts at 1 The Pavement and to the right 202-204 Clapham High Street, both in the Clapham conservation area of Lambeth. The three-storey shop building at 1 The Pavement appears to be nineteenth century with a modern ground floor shopfront projecting at an angle to the face of the neatly framed stucco fronted upper storeys. Shown trading as The Golden Egg, offering ‘MORNING COFFEE -LUNCHES - AFTERNOON TEAS – FULLY LICENSED’, it has a ‘TO LET’ sign to a first-floor window for ‘A TREVOR’ advertising ‘EXCELLENT 1st & 2ND FLOOR OFFICES’. The shops at 202-204 are believed to have been part of The Plough Inn at 196 Clapham High Street, thought to have replaced an earlier Plough Inn in the 1920s. Built in an impressive mock Tudor style with heavy timber framing, gables, and a tall brick chimney cluster, the shopfronts are shown trading at ‘THE SLIPPED DISC – DISCOUNT RECORDS’ at number 204, offering ‘Records – MUSIC – Cassettes’, its display showing a several record sleeves and special offers including ‘ANY 3 of £2.00, or 69p each’, and an OFF LICENCE at number 202. A few coated pedestrians are shown walking past. The plain tubular railings bordering the pavement and the pedestrian refuge with its bollard have since been replaced by a Pelican crossing.
