Charles Henry Harrod in 1824, the for-runner to Harrods (Oxford Street) ran this business, variously listed as a Draper, or Mercer and Haberdasher, certainly until 1831,from the site occupied by Tas Cafe.

Nos. 66 and 68 have been in the tenure of the firm of Edward Strauss & Co., hop merchants since 1893 and the previous occupants, W. H. & H. Le May, were in the same trade.

Re: Borough High Street
Tickets refer to the pawning of a sheet by Ann Robinson, of Kent Street. Could this be the Kent Street we now know as Tabard Street.

What is the building in Southwark Street? Is it a cab drivers' resting office? and what of the "Obelisk" on the left-hand side of the picture - in what seems to be the centre of the road.

Re: Borough High Street
Looking through the alley entrance across Borough High Street you can see the Old Town Hall Chambers building. This is where St. Margaret's Church was and at that time was called St Margaret’s Hill c 1834.
