Title
Buildings in Kingsway
Description
75 Kingsway, Holborn. The entrance to Kingsway Hall, with its projecting pediment supported by four pilasters and, projecting further, a canopy with the name and number on it. The hall is actually in the area behind the office blocks on either side, through the stone arch. At the time of the photograph it was the headquarters of the West London Mission of the Methodist Church - a sign advertising a service led by the Rev. Ira Goldhawk can be seen. There was a large organ and, during the World War II, the basement was used as a 'rest and feeding centre' for homeless Blitz victims. It was later used for concerts and recording but deteriorated and was demolished in 1998. On the left is a shopfront with 'International Correspondence Schools' on the window and a sign for 'Woman's Institute' above. There are signs for S. H. Benson Ltd on either side of the entrance. A gentleman in a Homburg hat walks by and there is a blur of traffic.
