1939 London Street Sign - Charles II St. - in Original Oak frame
City of Westminster - CHARLES II ST. S.W.1
Original 1939 street sign produced by the City of Wesminster, 92cm x 34cm x 3cm. Solid opaline glass panel with inset painted lettering within its original oakwood frame. Wonderful condition with beautiful signs of wear due to being in situ for decades.
Charles II Street, built in 1665, runs parallel to Pall Mall in the City Westminster. It runs roughly East to West connecting St James Square with Haymarket and crossing Regent Street.
In 1939, Charles Street was renamed Charles II Street providing an accurate date for this sign. It is unlikely that is dates any later as, by the 1930s, London street signs were made from vitreous enamel yet this sign is opaline glass mounted in a oak frame - typical of the victorian and early 20th century signs. One presumes that it was a conscious decision to retain the elegance and heritage of the street.
The City of Westminster saw standardised street signage and its distinctive gothic heading introduced in the 1850s with the creation of the postal code system.
