Description
View of 450-460 Strand, City of Westminster, on the corner of Duncannon Street. Part of a three-storey triangular block bounded by Strand, Duncannon Street and Trafalgar Square built in the 1830s. On the corner, number 450 is occupied by a Lyons Corner House, one of the J. Lyon’s and Company Corner Houses which were large buildings serving food on four or five floors and grander than their chain of tea shops. At number 453-455, The Golden Cross Hotel, originally the site of the Golden Cross Inn. A richly decorated first-floor balcony with wrought-iron railings bears a sign for 'Buffet' and 'Restaurant'. An estate agent's board is fixed to the first floor. The remainder of the terrace has shops on the ground floor, one an ABC Tea Rooms. The Aerated Bread Company was founded in 1862 by Dr John Dauglish who patented an automated method of bread making. A man is at the top of a ladder cleaning the windows. This block was demolished in 1936 and replaced with a six-storey office and retail block, as well as South Africa House facing Trafalgar Square. A traffic island with decorated bollards and an ornate lamp post is in the road. Street signs are on the corner of Duncannon Street and also a parked car and delivery bicycle with milk churns on the back with a sign for 'Pure Milk'.
