View of 11-12 Lower Marsh, Waterloo. Shown on James De La Feuille's Map of London, c1690, as a lane lined with cottages and small holdings crossing Lambeth Marsh, it was known as Lambeth Marsh until the middle of the nineteenth century when it became Lambeth Lower Marsh. By the end of the nineteenth century, it was just known as Lower Marsh. Lined with shops, it has also had a market in the street since the mid nineteenth century. A pair of three-storey houses with shops on the ground floor. Number 11 is occupied by 'Lena', a hat shop. In 1895, this was the premises of Benjamin and Alfred Crabtree, painters. At number 12, Gale and Son, The Birthday Card Shop, Stationers and Sundries. In 1895, this shop was Paul Baron, Corset Maker. The buildings remain, but have been combined and had attics added. The ground floor is now a cafe.
