Description
View looking west along Bankside. On the left is number 49 Cardinal's Wharf. The street lamp and bollard indicate the entrance to Cardinal Cap Alley which still exists but was gated at the north end in 1989. Next is numbers 50 and 52, with a Ford Zephyr Six (Zephyr Mark 1) saloon car parked outside. They were originally built as three dwellings in 1712, but were damaged during the Blitz and reduced to two. Number 50 was renamed "Provost's Lodging" in the twentieth century with the future Bishop of Salisbury, George Reindorp, living there for a while. Next is a vacant lot that was the location of Bankside A power station, which was demolished in 1959 to enable the completion of Bankside B power station (now simply known as Bankside Power Station that became Tate Modern art gallery), the chimney of which is in the background. Number 49, and the railing outside, was Grade II listed in 1950, listing number 1376548. Numbers 50 and 52 were also Grade II listed in 1950, listing number 1376549.
