Title
Shops in New Row
Description
View looking north, showing terraced buildings with ground-floor shops at 27-28 New Row, Covent Garden. Number 28 is trading as, "The Theatre-Zoo", a theatrical costume hire business. The shop name sits within decorative plaster scrollwork. There is a skeleton costume hanging behind the shop door and large clown masks and hats can be seen in the display window. On the outside walls are cartoon characters of a monkey's face, a pig's head and a cat's face. In 1967 the Beatles pop group hired masks from this shop for their "Magical Mystery Tour" TV film and EP album cover. There is a partial view of number 27, which is trading as, "Davisons Wine & Spirit Merchants". Built in 1894, it has a semi-circular brick-arched mezzanine window above the ground-floor shop. There are bottles of wine in the display window.
