Description
A view of Galleon Cafe, 34 Abbey Road, Barking. The three-storey corner cafe, which likely dates in part from around the early nineteenth century, has a shop window partly covered in wooden beams. Some ornate nineteenth-century supports surmount the shop front. Hanging above the door is a small sign advertising 'Coca Cola' and has 'Cafe' written on it. Wood and large rubber tires can be seen near a building in York Street on the left. The small building once sat on the corner of York Street, by Barking Creek. The cafe survived, though it was re-built and is surrounded by modern apartment buildings.
