Eldon Street (S.side) : Gas Showrooms & F.W.Woolworths
Very contrasting but interesting architecture and buildings on this part of Eldon Street: the Sixties curved corner of the Gas Showrooms are shown at the entrance to Burlington Arcade; and next door is the more formal facade of the Woolworths; and then the modern frontage – with balconies - of the Three Cranes Hotel, this part in contrast to its adjoining older Edwardian face. The Gas Showroom had functioned from this site since the 1930s but was rebuilt in the 1960s when this image was taken. See 'Barnsley Streets', e, pp.94-95
