13 April 2018:
Some excellent Edwardian era shops on #ChapelStreetWindsor, with a completely untouched upper facade, and all that elaborate detail is in pretty good condition. There’s a range on influences, including Queen Anne classical bits, Art Nouveau-ish arch tops and especially that panel of floral ornament, Gothic capitals on the piers, all topped by a feature tiled gabled roof. There’s never been a complete study of all the great shops on Chapel Street, but seems to date from 1906, the first ad I can find for the new address of 38A- looks like it was a wider single shop that became two rather narrow ones. One shop sold phonographs ie. records, with facilities to record your own (!), and two years later an electrical contractor occupied the other. Couldn’t find an architect.
