Abbott & Sons' barbershop in afternoon light. Three chrome and burgundy leather barber's chairs on a black and white chequerboard floor, a long dark wood counter with a marble top, bottles and a hot towel cabinet, arched brass-framed mirrors with brass wall lights, white tiles with a black band, opal globe pendants, a leather bench, a coat stand and a red rug. The window shows a brick street and trees rather than Market Row.
