Title
Fenwick's store in New Bond Street
Description
View looking south-east, showing Fenwick's fashion store at 58-63 New Bond Street and 17-21 Brook Street, Mayfair. The store opened on this site in 1891 and was the first of its kind to open on New Bond Street initially occupying just the corner block at 63 New Bond Street and 17 Brook Street. Started by John James Fenwick in Newcastle in the late-nineteenth century, the business traded in high-end ladies fashions. The original five-storey building has Corinthian columns at first-floor level and a decorative frieze on the upper levels with a stone balustrade visible. At 18-21 Brook Street is a four-storey building with a ten-window range which was acquired by Fenwick's in the early-twentieth century together with 58-62 New Bond Street. Dressed mannequins can be seen in the ground floor, plate-glass display windows to both the New Bond Street and Brook Street frontages. There is a large sign advertising the business above the first-floor corner and flags can be seen flying from the roofs of the adjoining blocks. There are canvas awnings in view above the six pedestrian entrances visible. There are two hanging clocks marking the eastern and southern boundaries of the business with a stack of crates visible beneath the Brook Street clock. A seven-storey building can be seen at 22-23 Brook Street. There is a bicycle leaning against a display window in New Bond Street. A set of traffic lights with a pair of bollards and twin street lamps can be seen in the centre of Brook Street. There are pedestrians in the street together with parked vehicles, including a Ford Transit van with both rear doors open in Brook Street. There is a taxi visible. Fenwick's ceased trading from this location in 2024.
