View of Shepherd Street and East Chapel Street
Description
Looking south along East Chapel Street towards Shepherd Street, Mayfair. The area was originally the site of the annual fair which gives Mayfair its name, and was developed by architect Edward Shepherd between 1753 and 1746. 11 Shepherd Street has a double bay frontage to first and second floors. The left of the building has three storeys, attic, and supporting columns flanking the doorway. The right has four storeys, attic and supporting metal pillars at street level. Both sides have iron railed balconies at attic level atop the bays. 13 Shepherd Street has three storeys, attic and a hardware merchants at street level, with painted adverts on the shop frontage for "Kitchen utensils" and "Retinning and replating a speciality". 8 East Chapel Street is a three-storey building with shop at street level. A bowler hatted gentleman and delivery man with horse and cart stand outside. 9 East Chapel Street is barely visible save for a sign advertising "Shaving". Both 8 and 9 were Grade II listed in 1975, listing numbers 1357326 and 1275274. East Chapel Street was renamed Trebeck Street in the 1930s. Both it and Shepherd Street lie within the Mayfair conservation area designated in 1969. 11-13 Shepherd Street are no longer extant, the site having been rebuilt with a six-storey apartment block, Carrington House, in 1936. Both 8 and 9 Trebeck Street are still extant, the latter now re-numbered to 19.
