Title
Buildings in Strand
Description
View of the front elevations of buildings in Strand, Covent Garden, and the junction with Northumberland Street. On the left at 5-6 Strand is a building of four storeys with Jax of Oxford Street womenswear shop on the ground floor. The building also houses Strand Corner House cafe, whose sign appears across the chamfered corner of the building. A man is standing in the doorway near a stall selling newspapers. A bill from The Sunday Express reads "The Michael Parker Story", a reference to the colourful life of the former secretary to Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, about which newspapers published revelations in February and March 1957 . The Daily Graphic advertises a column by Aidan Crawley, a former cricketer and member of parliament. On the right at 4 Strand, the ground floor is occupied by Polyfoto, a photographic shop. A sign for Nelson Bar can be seen on ground floor at the side of the building in Northumberland Street. A crowd has gathered around a trader's stall in the street. The building still exists. The building at number 5-6 no longer exists and a later commercial development occupies the site. The cafe was opened in 1915 by J. Lyons Co. and became part of a large chain of Lyons Corner Houses.
