TQ3072 : WHSmith's, Streatham High Road
taken 16 years ago, near to Streatham, Lambeth, England

WHSmith's, Streatham High Road
Lift your eyes from the pavement and even in the most unpromising of places, all kinds of delights will reveal themselves to you.
Above WHSmith's is a fine 1930s Art Deco style front. Note the stepped pediment at the top, vertical panels of windows, and the multi-paned leaded casements with decorative bands, the whole facade being set within an ornamental frame.
Sharman's was a dress shop and drapers, no doubt dating from the time when Streatham was known as the "West End of South London". See here for a view of the whole terrace: TQ3072 : 138-184 Streatham High Road
