Villiers Street, Strand: the north east part |

Description |
At first floor level, covering a bricked up window, Challice's pharmacy has a wooden notice painted with text: Colds colds colds. Why suffer? Challice's anticatarrh healing bottle gives immediate relief and is the best known remedy for catarrh, hay-fever, bronchitis, & all ordinary colds. It is also a most valuable preventative against infectious diseases, used largely by the profession. Price 1/1 per bottle On the window of Challice's shop: Dr J. Collis Brown's Chlorodye Summary At second floor level the street is crossed by an arched walkway linked on the west side to Charing Cross station. The walkway is still (November 1999) there On the left (east) side, the nearest building is no. 34 Villiers Street, which in Kelly's Street Directory for 1890 and 1896 is described as the premises of William Challice, Chemist and Druggist. The adjacent building, no. 33, is called in the same sources the Charing Cross Larder: the name Alsopp is not given. The third building, no. 32, is described in the 1890 directory as the shop of Charles James Lee, tobacconist, and in the 1896 directory as the shop of William Thorpe, tobacconist. Thorpe's name is visible in the present photograph, which must therefore be later than 1890. To establish the precise date of the photograph, street directories for other years should be checked Medical Photographic Library |
