Title
Shops in Carnaby Street
Description
A view of the fronts of 43-47a Carnaby Street, Soho, looking towards the turning into Ganton Street. On the far left of the photograph is part of number 48, a four-storey building built in 1906 containing a shop. The majority of the buildings in the scene at numbers 44-47a date from the early nineteenth-century with number 43 on the far right of the photograph likely dating from the second half of the nineteenth century. At number 43 Carnaby Street on the corner by the turning into Ganton Street is the fashionable menswear shop Lord John which was opened by David and Warren Gold in 1964. In 2017 a plaque commemorating the famous shop was placed onto the side of number 43. Until around the mid-1960s, number 43 was a pub known as the Coach and Horses. Other shops and businesses in the photograph include a clothes shop called Pauls at number 47a, and another clothes shop at number 46 called 2nd Gear, with clothes for sale hanging on rails in the street and in the shop front. A second shop with an unknown name is also at number 46. At number 47a is what appears to be a bakery. Attached to the fronts of numbers 46 and 47a are open awnings. Further along the row at number 45 is a shoe shop called Shoes By Topper and next to this the tobacconists Inderwick's. At the end of the row at number 44 by Ganton Street is a shop called Ravel. Various signs are attached to the buildings, including a large 'Sold By' board. The pedestrianised street is covered in coloured geometric shapes, and pedestrians and cars are visible at the end of the street.
