Title
Shop in Lower Marsh
Description
View of 127 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 nineteenth century. A three-storey nineteenth-century building on the corner of Leake Street, occupied by a plumbers merchant called 'Tap and Tiles'. On the front of the first floor are two large Etruscan urns which were often found on oil shops. In 1895, this building was Frederick Crane, Standish and Son, Oil and Colourmen. Frederick Crane was born in 1841 in Blackfriars. On the side wall is a large painted sign for 'Eastwoods'. The building remains and the shop is now a restaurant. Leake Street is named after Dr John Leake who founded the Westminster New Lying-In Hospital in 1767, which moved to near this site in 1828. It was previously York Street, and is now mainly a tunnel under the platforms and tracks of Waterloo station where graffiti artists can showcase their work.
