Title
Buildings in Rivington Street
Description
A view of commercial buildings and advertising posters in Rivington Street, Shoreditch. The large open-sided building on the right is the timber drying shed of John Burton & Sons at 32 Rivington Street, thought to be the largest facility of its type in an area that was a major centre of furniture making and supplies in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The words "John Burton" and "mahogany" can just about be made out in the vertical sign on the projecting part of the building. Three figures are visible through the grille at the right. On the other side of the street a flank wall contains numerous advertising posters including Perrier "the Champagne of table waters", Black Cat cigarettes, Reid's stout, BlackFriars cigars and A1 sauce. Also advertised are the Isle of Man ferry, the east coast rail route, and a naval exhibition at Earls Court called "With the Fleet". The Grand Theatre Islington was showing "When Woman Hates". Pedestrians and a gas lamp post are visible. Two hand carts are left in the cobbled street. The buildings no longer exist.
