Buildings in New Bond Street
Description
View looking south, showing terraced buildings at 142-144 New Bond Street, Mayfair. The ground floor of number 143 is trading as, "Savory and Moore", a chemist's business which was founded on the site in 1794 by Thomas Paytherus. The four-storey, four-window range building itself dates from the mid-eighteenth century. Thomas Field Savory joined the company in 1797 with Thomas Moore joining as a partner in 1806. The shop traded under the "Savory and Moore" name from 1814 until 1968, when the shop closed. The shop front is of timber and stucco with two large windows and a central shop entrance comprising a double panelled door with hood above. Octagonal framed panes of glass can be seen above the shop windows. There is a sculpted royal crest above the entrance. There is writing on one of the sun blinds saying, "Chemists To The King" together with a small poster with the name, "G. Jolley & Co.". There are ornamental cast-iron railings visible. Pharmaceutical bottles and jars can be seen in the windows. There is a doorway to the left leading to the upper floors. Signs for, "Leonard's Hairdressing Salon" and "Leonard Coiffure Taura Ltd" can be seen above. Beneath the second-floor windows is a wide illuminated sign advertising, "Leonard Headquarters For Permanent Hair Waving Taura Ltd". There is a hanging sign for "E. Gerrard Ladies Tailor". A flagpole can be seen on the roof. The Savory & Moore company became the official pharmaceutical suppliers for the War Office and the Royal Family in the early-twentieth century. The shop front remains largely intact today and is Grade II listed; listing number 1224467. There is a partial view of number 144 , which was built in 1912 in Franco-German baroque style to designs by E. A. Rickards. It is Grade II listed; listing number 1224468. Number 142 is trading as, "Matthieson", where some paintings can be seen in the ground-floor window. Above an arch-shaped first-floor window can be seen an alarm bell.
