Title
Shops in Hill Street
Description
This view shows part of a terrace of early-nineteenth century shop buildings that once stood on the corner of Hill Street and Bridge Street in Richmond, known as Royal Terrace. The jeweller WALTER F. JARVIS at number 29, has a traditional rusticated ground-floor shop front and ornate iron railings to its single first-floor window. The rest have twentieth-century shop fronts, but the painted brick frontages on the two upper floors show hints of former shops’ painted advertising, including HIGH CLASS CHOCOLATE AND CONFECTIONERY, and HAIRDRESSERS. Number 21 and 23 on the corner of the former Heron Court are shown as a WIMPY BAR, but at one time number 23 was the Royal Hotel. Other shops shown are the RICHMOND SCHOONER fish and chip shop and restaurant, and the RICHMOND ROTARY CLUB CHARITY SHOP, also stating its 50th ANNIVERSARY PROJECT. The entire terrace was demolished in the 1980s and replaced with Quinlan Terry’s Richmond Riverside development, incorporating Heron Place. In the foreground a woman passenger in an overloaded Ford Cortina looks towards the photographer, the sun glaring off the windscreen of the Fiat 124 saloon shown following behind.
