NOTES: Henry Holdron opened his market at 53 Rye lane in 1882, which he expanded between 1885 and 1888 to include these shop premises on both sides of numbers 51-57. It was steadily developed until 1910 and became one of south London's major shopping centres. It was acquired by John Lewis Partnership in 1940 from Selfridges and closed in 1949.
