Can anyone remember what shop or shops occupied the building before Mothercare and later Gap were present on the corner of Lord Street and Whitechapel? I know its a long shot but does anyone have a photo? Thanks very much

Hi Partsky,
This is probably a lot earlier than you're interested in, but Hope Bros. occupied the building in 1899, picture courtesy of LRO.
Before mothercare it was Ethel Austins womens wear.
Her indoors is arguing with me that it was Boodle&Dunthorns the jewlers?
She just lost....Boodle&Dunthorn was on the corner of North John Street and Lord Street....Yis!
