Portobello Road, cl904. George Portwine the butcher had 173-175, on the right. The semi obscured name and stained-glass shopfront is still here today, leading into Portwine Galleries. Mrs Rosetta Virgo had an oil shop at 163 which later became Harris's stores, specialising in selling prams, before becoming Harris's Arcade.
Look above The Red Lion Antiques Market at 165-169 Portobello Road to see a sign to commemorate Susan Garth, who launched London's first antiques market on this site. Tailor Jacob Winner was offering all the trimmings here in 1904. By 1910 he had expanded next door, having taken over Mrs Emma Downs' eel pie house.
