Along the Hackney Road stands this building with a turret:
This on the corner of Waterson Street and Hackney Road, at the western end of Columbia Road.
After I’d sketched it, I walked into the picture, and had a look at the building from the Waterson Street side. It was a pub called the Duke of Clarence.
There is deep green tiling, characteristic of 19th century London pubs.
It was listed in the London Street Directory of 1940 as a pub. Other online references have it trading from 1802 up to 1944. For many decades it’s had retail premises on the ground floor.
Now it is home to “Colours of Arley” on the ground floor, which offers “bespoke striped fabric and wallpaper”. Other floors are occupied by tenants of “Fount London”, which provides small office spaces in quirky buildings.
It’s still standing on its corner, still noble, still useful, while the businesses and the district change around it.

I’m really enjoying your work and you are inspiring me to use more maps.

Thank you for your kind comment @Itching for Hitching. I love maps. I put them in the sketchbook to answer the FAQ “Where IS that?”. This is a question I ask myself often: where was I? The map provides the answer.
I hope you’re well. Good luck on your travels.

Thank you @Martin! Pictures and places – what is it and where is it, and then I try to find out why is it. Maps help with all this. I’m so glad you enjoy the pictures and maps. Thank you for your comment.
