Title
Shops in New Bond Street
Description
View looking south-west, showing a terrace of buildings with ground-floor shops at 139-141 New Bond Street, Mayfair. Number 139 is a four-storey, late nineteenth-century building with the ground-floor shop trading as "S. J. Phillips Ltd", jeweller and silversmith. There is a pair of Doric columns either side of a display window with shuttered security windows. Displays of silver and jewellery can be seen inside. Above is a semi-circular window surrounded by a stone fascia and there is a five-window range. Geometric patterned stonework can be seen on the front elevation. In the early-twentieth century the ground-floor shop was the theatre ticket office of H. J. Adams. In the 1930s it became the head office of Cramer's music publishers and pianoforte saleroom. The upper floors were used as music practice rooms until the early 1960s when S. J. Phillips Ltd took over residency. 140 New Bond Street was built in Flemish style brick and terracotta in 1896-97 to designs by F. J. Eedle & Meyers. A carved sign for "W. E. Hill & Sons", former string instrument makers, can be seen above the shop windows. The building has ornate carved decoration and friezes with a steep gable flanked by a pair of obelisk finials. An ornate wrought-iron sign is hanging above the shop window. The building is Grade II listed; listing number 1266794. Wooden framed advertising boards can be seen outside numbers 139-140. There is a partial view of number 141, trading as "Olympic Airways". There are posters in the window and a globe logo can be seen in the rear of the shop. The building was formerly a church that fell into disuse in the 1890s and later became offices for Godfrey Davis car dealer in the 1920s. The ground-floor shops in are today, high-end fashion retailers.
