This view shows a group of historic shop-fronted buildings on the north side of Thames Street in the Hampton Village conservation of Richmond-upon-Thames, none of which appear to be in use as shops in the photograph, nor indeed in the present day, but at one time they included a coffee house and a grocer's shop. To the left of view, 28 Thames Street with the oriel window and ornate parapet is listed locally as a Building of Townscape Merit. Number 26 is eighteenth-century with a nineteenth-century shop window and was Grade II Listed in 1983, listing number 1262001. 24 Thames Street is believed to be late eighteenth-century and was also Grade II listed in 1983, listing number 1262014. Number 22 with the window bays to either side of its entrance is early eighteenth-century and was Grade II listed in 1983, listing number 1252977. On the corner of the High Street is the Red Lion, its sign showing the red barrel logo of Watney's brewery, which was built as a hotel in 1909 replacing the earlier Red Lion Inn, parts of which may have dated back to Tudor times. On the opposite corner of the High Street is number 20, known today as Ferry House, shown with FOR SALE signs and now a private house but at one time a hairdresser and tobacconist's shop. Built in the early eighteenth-century, 20 Thames Street was Grade II listed in 1983, listing number 1262011. The tower of the Church of St Mary overlooks the scene, which replaced the previous church building in 1831 and was designed by Edward Lapidge, also responsible for Kingston Bridge. Records for St Mary's Church date back to 1342. The current St Mary's Church was Grade II listed in 1952, listing number 1252976. Some cars are shown following the temporary road signs directing traffic to turn into the High Street, apparently owing to roadworks, as a motion-blurred Mini van passes in the opposite direction close to a part-visible Ford Transit van parked across the road to the right of view.
