Description
General view of buildings at 2-12 Tavistock Street, Covent Garden. Number 12 is a five-storey building with a shop on the ground floor, trading as W. H. Moss and Son Ltd, wholesale flower seller. Number 2-10 is a five-storey, seven-window range building built in 1905 as the headquarters of Country Life magazine. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens for the founder and chairman of Country Life, Edward Hudson. It has a round-arched doorway with radial fanlight and a semi-circular pediment above. There are keystones with pendants of flowers, birds and fishes visible. Two large chimney stacks can be seen. Today the building is known as Hudson House. It is Grade II* listed, listing number 1234320. To the right of the image is a partial view of Tower House, built in 1935. To the left of the image is a partial view of an external wall to Jubilee Hall in Jubilee Market. Built in 1903 to house the foreign flower market, it remains today and used as a covered market for antiques, arts and crafts and a general market. It is Grade II listed, listing number 1356973. In the open area in the foreground can be seen a cabin on wheels with a sign saying, "Alfred Bull, Grocer, Upminster." There are sacks of produce in view part-covered by tarpaulins. Several parked vehicles can be seen including a Ford Zodiac Mk III and a Triumph Courier van. This open area has since been developed as an extension to the Jubilee Market. Two early twentieth-century, cast-iron street lamps can be seen, which are Grade II listed, listing number 1066229.
