What a find

Had to go into town to get a visa sorted, I just love wandering through the streets of London, I went to Warren st today, then on to Regents Park and back to Baker Street station. So much to see and be inspired by!

Granny Gill is here for the night and Zebedee has made scones!!

Gulliver had his first of 15 Nature club sessions at school and went pond dipping, he really enjoyed it.

More info on the Welsh Dairy now a cafe if you're interested.
J. Evans Dairy Farmer: Conway Street & Warren Street

The glass facia had been covered with wood and the council made them remove it. The shopfront is circa 1916 and the building is circa 1793 with 20th century windows, from the description below the shop door was origianlly the the main door (with the fanlight) and I suppose that the other has been added. The are both grade II listed. it's now a cafe.
Fine dairy shopfront. 'J. Evans Dairy/Farmer' is painted on gilded glass fascia above shopfront which has semicircular arch over 6-panelled door with decorative fanlight to left, and half-glazed door with overlight to street corner flanked by segmental-arched plate-glass shop windows which are set in a glazed blue tile surround with white tile panels beneath windows and Art Nouveau floral decoration to white tile strips flanking openings. Ground floor to right facing Warren Street has channelled stucco with 2 square-headed C20 casement windows. Flat brick arches to C20 casement windows on upper storeys.Interior of shop has white glazed tile walls and original marble shop counter with hand-painted pastoral scenes set in blue tile frames beneath. The Post Office Directory records the arrival of "J. Evans, dairyman" in 1916. The shop is one of the best surviving examples of a Welsh dairy, common in London in early C20 but now extremely rare. The tilework in this example is particularly attractive.
