Description

Sherry's Restaurant may have been demolished before 1927, when Restaurant Boulestin opened on the same site. Boulestin was sold in the 1990s and it is now unclear exactly where in Southampton Street this building was. The Bedford Lemere daybook states that this photograph was taken for Hamptons Ltd, which refers to Hampton and Sons Limited, estate agents.
