Thank you Helen, That must be the very last I have seen of the F & V. A few changes since the 40's or 50's I imagine.
Thanks again for the picture. You are a gem and now another fan of yours on your list. xx

This cracker is Gosford St looking west towards Jordan Well which was posted earlier on FB. What makes it particularly interesting is it appears to have been taken pre 1905 because it doesn't look like Whitefriars Street has been built yet -

That's a very interesting one Neil, particularly of the buildings closest to the camera. I think that Whitefriars Street is there but the dome hadn't been built on the Coliseum Ballroom/Gaumont. Either that or it's faded into the sky.

This is Chambers' from the other direction and a slightly later date as you can see the telephone number has gained a digit.
