View of the Strand
Description
View of 172-183 Strand, City of Westminster (south side). At the corner with Norfolk Street, which was built in 1682, on part of the site of Arundel House and grounds, the London home of the Duke of Norfolk. On the left, a five-storey building with attics and shop fronts on the corner of Norfolk Street. Number 183 is a Rymans stationary shop. Founded by Henry J. Ryman in 1873, the company continues to trade. Number 181-182 is occupied by ‘Chamberlain and Jones’ men’s outfitters. Number 180 is The National Bank, founded as the National Bank of Ireland in 1835. Number 179 is a six-storey corner building with attics and a steep pitched roof. Cast-iron railings around the first floor, and parapets around the upper-storey windows. The ground floor is occupied by 'Huggins Chemist, Pharmacie International, Dispensing Chemist'. Number 176-178 is Acuman Limited and 174-175 is the East Strand Post Office. In the middle distance, on the corner with Surrey Street, number 172 is a three-storey Gothic-style building with an attic. In 1895 this was the office of ‘The Society’ newspaper. These buildings have been demolished and replaced with a Brutalist building used as a cultural and arts centre, and Norfolk Street no longer exists. Just visible on the opposite corner of Surrey Street is number 171 Strand; a three-storey building with a round attic window and decorative stonework of shields between the first and second storeys. This building is now part of Kings College London. In the distance is the construction of the seven-storey Strand Building for Kings College London. In the street are numerous parked motorcycles, and vehicles, including a lorry and vans, are heading west.
