I was lucky enough to get a look inside number 4 Nevada Street last week where there’s a great stash of vintage Greenwich Theatre posters.
Enter the Silver Street Studios, inspired by Nevada Street’s former name, and two things quickly strike you: the signs on the walls – amazing posters for old shows featuring (now) household names – and the signs for Wall’s – this place was most recently used for selling ice creams to punters heading for the park which is just metres away.
Posters for French Without Fear, A Streetcar Named Desire, Intimate Exchanges and You Should See Us Now (featuring Christopher Cazenove)
Alan Ayckbourn’s The Norman Conquests (bottom right) featured Tom Courtenay, Michael Gambon, Penelope Keith, Felicity Kendal, Mark Kingston and Penelope Wilton.
A 1980 production of Joseph in this quartet.
The building itself – an attractive end of terrace just a stone’s throw from Greenwich Park – is being made available for private sale.
Rear of the property – apparently planning consent has been granted for an extension
Garden
Anyone interested in the property should enquire at Sabo’s Newsagents in Stockwell Street.
Any chance some of those posters could be for sale? I took the photograph on one of them & have always wanted a copy! My husband did the front of house pictures for most of the shows in those days – so all very nostalgic for me . . .
I had the same thought – although you clearly get first choice(s) Celia!
Sounds like it might be worth asking the Sabos…
Yes, best to ask in Sabo’s although I think it will be a challenge getting them off the wall without damaging them.
