43 Cowcross Street / Farringdon

Retail premises built c.1891 and first occupied by a tobacconist. Fortunately it survived redevelopments around Farringdon Station and is now occupied by Bea's Cake Boutique. The street name arose when cattle bound for Smithfield Market crossed the River Fleet at this point. London Borough of Islington.
