A. L. Hughes & Co.

Solicitors and Commissioners for Oaths

Introduction

A. L. Hughes & Co. is a small firm of Solicitors in Streatham, South London, founded in 1950. The photograph shows a view of Streatham from more or less outside our offices, but taken in the 1960s. Currently the road is a red route, with perpetual congestion and no-one lurking on the road as shown above. Although Streatham High Road was voted the least attractive high street in Europe, or was it the world(?), the architectural features of the frontages are such that the Council decided that it should be a Conservation Area, a judgement which raised a few eyebrows, but is a fair one. By all means look up at the attractive gabling and tilework, but watch out for potholes and abandoned debris beneath your feet.
