Shop and public house in New Row
Description
View looking south, showing a partial view of "Moss Bros", men's outfitters at 20 King Street, Covent Garden, and a partial view of the neighbouring "White Swan" public house at 14 New Row. The window display at "Moss Bros" includes a fishing net and rod, wader boots, a golf trolley with golf clubs and an umbrella. There is a sign advertising, "Active Sports Dept" and another sign saying, "Autumn Haze". There is a menswear mannequin visible and a dressed ladies' mannequin with handbag. This building has since been replaced by a supermarket. The "White Swan" pub dates from the late-seventeenth or early-eighteenth century. It has had various names, including "Lord's Tavern", "The Moths Hotel" and "The Swan Hotel". A masonic lodge used to meet at the pub in the mid-eighteenth century and the author, Dorothy L. Sayers featured the pub in her 1933 Lord Peter Wimsey novel, "Murder Must Advertise". There is a small oval sign in the side door saying, "Food Served Here" and another for, "Saloon Bar". A sign outside says, "A Bass Charrington House". Two cardboard boxes have been left outside the pub. The building is Grade II listed; listing number 1224986.
