Title
Buildings in Tufton Street
Description
Front elevations of 60-76 Tufton Street, Westminster, at the corner with Romney Street. Originally built by Sir Richard Tufton in the seventeenth century, the street is a mix of two- and three-storey buildings with a corner shop at 76 Tufton Street. The shop fascia reads "Dairy Farmer, H. Davies" and the frontage has enamelled adverts for Horniman's Teas, Lyons Tea and Brooke Bond Tea. One window display shows a range of soda siphons. There are fenced-in sites on both sides of the street where buildings have been demolished. Looking north along Tufton Street there is a cast-iron cannon bollard in the foreground and beyond, two cast-iron gas lamps, both Grade II listed in 2024, listing numbers 1491063 and 1491066. The lamps, manufactured by William Sugg and Co., combine a 1910 Eddystone column with a Rochester-type lantern c1930. The nearer lamp 1491066 at the corner of Tufton and Little Tufton Street is now located outside number 81. Two wooden handcarts and a step ladder have been left by the kerb. Only the east side of Tufton Street lies within the Smith Square conservation area designated in 1969. It was significantly redeveloped in the early-twentieth century and Little Tufton Street renamed Dean Trench Street. A large mixed-use block, Romney House, replaced these buildings in the 1930s, designed by architect Michael Rosenauer and still extant as a multi-dwelling residential property.
