Title
Buildings in Strand
Description
View of the front elevations of buildings at 263-266 Strand, Covent Garden, and the corner of Clement's Inn at the right. The corner building of about five storeys has the shop of F. Mitchell on the ground floor. At number 265 is Carr's pub, named for a former landlord. A sign across the buildings at high level reads Frontage 104 ft. A large sign across the corner building explains that the whole site is to be rebuilt for Carr's after the Westminster to Strand Improvements. The building to its left bears a sign reading Dorset House. Its ground floor is surrounded by a hoarding prior to demolition. The pub at 37 Wych Street, on the corner to the left, is The Rising Sun. It carries advertisements for Dewar's whisky, Walkers and Watney Combe Reid ales. The image shows three horse-drawn carts, one of them bearing the name of London & South Western Railway Company. Several men are standing near the carts. The buildings shown no longer exist, having been removed as part of the Strand redevelopment in the early-twentieth century.
