Title
Shop in Thames Street
Description
This view shows a shop building at 34 Thames Street, trading as a WINE MERCHANTS although the name appears to have been painted out in one of the shop's two awnings, which conceal its leaded window lights above the display windows. Photographs from the early twentieth-century show a first-floor balcony, hence the full height central window, and the slatted shutters appear to have been a long-standing if not original feature of its south-facing frontage. Some bottles and party-sized cans are on display, but only few brand signs are visible including a Babysham chamois graphic in one window and a Long Life just visible on a door sign. Like many former shop properties, it has since been converted to residential use and it listed locally as a Building of Townscape Merit. To its left, the loading doors are thought to have led to a yard to the rear of the premises and has since been infilled with arched window frames of similar design to the current day display windows, possibly from a time when it was used as a bookshop. Number 36 with the oriel window appears to have been converted to residential use already and is also listed locally. The oriel window case has since been replaced with a dark timber framed and panelled structure with Gothic style window insets. Number 38, only partly visible to left of view, used to be the Crown Inn. Dating from the eighteenth-century, it was Grade II listed in 1983, listing number1252978.
