Description
Side and rear elevation of 276 Gray's Inn Road at the junction with Ampton Street, King's Cross. 276 is a three-storey building with a walled yard to the rear. The corner shop is an off licence, Gray's Inn Cellars, selling beers, wines, spirits, minerals and tobacco. There are billboard posters above the shop window for Lemon Hart rum, Yellow Pages telephone directory, Silk Cut cigarettes and The Max Bygraves Show at Victoria Palace. 276 also has a nineteenth-century side doorway on Ampton Street, with lintel and fanlight. The junction with Ampton Street is controlled with pre-1970s SGE traffic lights, which have since been replaced. 276 Gray's Inn Road is still extant with a corner shop, although its original side doorway on Ampton Street has been replaced.
