Description
A view of buildings in Marylebone Lane, Marylebone; at the time of the photograph numbered (left to right) 68 Wigmore Street, 13-13A, 15-17, 19 and 21-23 Marylebone Lane. The red brick, four-storey, Queen Anne-style house at 68 Wigmore Street was designed by Augustus E. Hughes in 1898 for John Potter, a wholesale grocer. The arched shop fronts with pink granite piers either side of the corner entrance were designed to be open for the fishmonger's shop run by Potter’s sons. In this view, the shop is occupied by P.D.C. Copy Service; a sign in the window reads: 'Xerox copies 5p. Reducing to 2p'. Adjacent, 13-13A Marylebone Lane, the rear extension of 70-74 Wigmore Street, built 1907-08 by E. Lawrance & Sons to the designs of F. M. Elgood. The facade of the four-storey building is in red brick and Portland stone with recessed bays. In this view, the ground floor is occupied by haberdasher Distinctive Trimmings. An illuminated sign on the door pediment reads: 'Distinctive Trimmings 486 6456'. Above the door, a sign: 'Valerie House'. In 2010 a new building of offices and retail showrooms, by ESA Architecture, replaced all but the facades of 68-74 Wigmore Street and 13-13A Marylebone Lane. The new building's address is 68a-72 Wigmore Street. Also in view, Le Petit Montmartre restaurant, 15-17 Marylebone Lane, opened 1956 by Austrian wine expert Joseph Berkmann. The shutters and illuminated windmill were a nod to Montmartre, Paris. Next door at 19 Marylebone Lane, a valet service offering 'Pressing, Tailoring, Alterations'. Both buildings date to 1890-91, built by Francis Radford Tozer, a Notting Hill builder. Both were demolished in 2010–12 and replaced by a taller office/retail block, again by ESA Architecture for Howard de Walden Estates. In the background at 21-23 Marylebone Lane, the Mandeville Hotel extension, built 1961-62. There are two cars in the street, one registration VUL 871M; the other DLM 23J. In the foreground at right, 56 Marylebone Lane with a striped awning shading the shop. This building no longer exists.
