This view shows a row of shopfronts at 13-16 The Pavement in the Clapham conservation area of Clapham. To the right, the pair of three-storey houses set back from the row at 13 and 14 The Pavement are mid-eighteenth century and were Grade II listed in 1981, listing number 1065006. Their dark stucco frontage is partly obscured by dilapidated advertising boards over the single-storey shops extending over their forecourts, shown trading respectively as ‘Dixons – TOYS BOOKS’ and ‘BESTWEAR’, the latter having a large banner beneath its hoarding saying, ‘BARGAIN TIME!’. Bestwear displays a range of drapery and fabric goods, Dixon’s is less impressively arranged and has a few window stickers for ‘GREEN SHIELD stamps’. The pair at 15 and 16 comprises a three-storey brick building with casement windows, appearing to be late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. The central column of windows over a residential door with a pedimented canopy gives the building the appearance of it having been a detached house. The design of the shop to the left of the door appears to have been added in the early twentieth century, incorporating its own shop entrance. It is shown empty, with whitewashed display window and stickers for ‘EVER READY – BATTERIES’ in its upper panels. Number 15 is shown as ‘SUPREME Fish Restaurant’, a large menu on display in its window. Suspended decoration just visible appears to include fish and fishing nets. Just visible to the left of view, the flanking wall of the shop at 17 The Pavement shows ‘DEANE & CO. CHEMISTS’, the company founded by Henry Deane in 1837. Although Deane’s ceased trading in 1986, the ghost sign remains today. The building retains many original features and was Grade II listed in 1955, listing number 1064962. Just visible to the right at number 12 is Noble’s jewellers, with a well-stocked display offering watch and clock repairs.
