Title
Bradshaw House in Surrey Street
Description
View of Bradshaw House at 5 Surrey Street, Westminster, looking from the forecourt of the closed old Piccadilly Railway Station. The main entrance is to the left of the image and is set in the centre of the large window. There are double doors to the entrance with a Doric-style porch to it. Above the doors is the name Bradshaw House. There are two steps from the pavement to the door. The steep drop of the pavement can be seen in the front view. There is a square window at pavement level either side of the door. Below the large window on either side of the door are advertising posters. The window and the other one to the its right have semi-circular tops with ornate surrounds to them. Below the right window are three square windows at basement level. Two of the panes of glass have been replaced with signs. The upper sign shows that they are suppliers by Royal Appointment to Queen Elizabeth II. The lower one is for Bradshaws Railway and Air Guides. There is another door to the right. There are two large windows to the upper floor with ornate surrounds. The left window has a flagpole fixed to the cill in the centre. Above these windows is an ornate coping to the roof with inset Dormer windows. Bradshaws were famous for producing a railway guide. The first one was produced in 1839, with the first continental one in 1847. They were the first railway timetables to be produced covering all the various railway companies that existed in one publication. They expanded into becoming tour guides, and later as Air Travel developed, they expanded into Air Guides. The last monthly one was published in 1961. This building no longer exists and a large modern block has been constructed.
