Paris Saint Tottenham

Café, Valais, Tavistock Place, St Pancras by Peter Marshall, 1986

Café Valais was at 50 Tavistock Place, rather confusingly next to 74 Marchmont Street, and a Chinese Restaurant in Tavistock Place to its left. I think the café had closed when I made this picture, with its windows blocked by sheets of paper. I was attracted by the muted pinks and green and the lettering of its name, but would I think have preferred it without the two rounded concrete posts at the bottom of the picture. These have now gone from the pavement and the address has demoted to a pizza place.

London Transport cover stars, 14

That's June Ellenden "collecting sheets of tickets for wiring" as they come off the rotary printing machine at the London Transport Tram and Trolleybus Printing Works in Brixton. Mr C Curtis is operating the machine. He's 48 and has worked there since he was 14, showing every one of those years in his cheery demeanour.
