Title
Shops in Thames Street
Description
This view shows a cluster of buildings on the south side of Thames Street in the Hampton Village conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames. Number 15 to the centre of view stands today in isolation as an office building called Queen Anne House. This eighteenth-century building was Grade II listed in 1975, listing number1252975. The adjacent sign shows Constables Boat House, believed to be marking a passageway between the buildings leading to the boatyards to the rear of the house. Charles Constable had boatyards both here and opposite Tagg's Island since the late nineteenth-century and the firm is still trading today in the restored boathouses behind number 15. Number 13 had by this time been demolished, providing vehicle access to the modern-day Constables Boatyard, but it was of similar scale and appearance to number 15. ALADDIN'S CAVE at number 17, traded in motorcycle spares and is also void space now. Beyond at number 19, near the parked Ford Consul saloon, is the entrance to what was once W G Smith's and later Simple soap works, between two buildings that once extended and joined a cluster of buildings that occupied a narrowing site leading to the riverside. The site is now occupied by a three-storey apartment block built in 1997 with period design references to its brick frontage. All of the buildings show signs of disrepair, although number 15 has been substantially renovated since. Two marks of Ford Cortina are shown driving past in opposite directions.
