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.

The west side straight on from above the courtyard on a summer evening. Left to right: The Regal's blade sign on the corner, Our Price with a giant record on a bracket, Lowther Gallery with paintings on easels, Abbott & Sons Barbers with a barber's pole, the narrow Market Row Baths with a teal-lit stair going down, and Marlowe & Pike Booksellers lined with books. In front, the sunken lightwell planted with flowers behind its glass balustrade, and the water bowl, which has sprouted a fountain jet that is not in the design.
