Summary

edit
Description
English: The fine sleek Somerfield Supermarket in Lower Clapton Road, E5. The rather subdued exterior is due to it being in the middle of a conservation area, surrounded by some of the finest Georgian and Edwardian buildings in Hackney. Previously , this site was a long established drapery department store called SPOKES, prop Henry Spokes, who was born in Kings Sutton near Banbury in Northants in 1869.,extending along the street. Spokes apparently operated one of the Cash Cup Railway systems for payments sent to a central till. The rather grubby white colour doesn't seemt to work, though. Perod mosaic tiles on the former bookmakers shop to the right.

@bellend_tweak reckons that OTV had a second-hand TV store here. Needs checking from directories. Henry Spokes' father, John Spokes, was a farmer of 150 acres and miller at Twyford Mill, employing 5 men and 5 boys in 1881. His eldest son, Stephen continued as miller and the younger Henry came to Londonwith his one year older sister Louisa to make his fortune....

Closed by the Co-operative on 28 June 2012 not having been rebranded.

Subsequently re-opered as a branch of J. Sainsbury
