Frank Ison’s shop, 47 Orford Road E17 – A traditional corner shop originally with a stable at the rear erected in 1902 by Frank Ison, and remaining in use by the family until the 1990s. Still in largely original condition externally, with particularly fine shopfront and fascia. Locally listed. Now a clothing store.

These signs were horribly damaged with graffiti several years, then whitewashed by the owners of the parking garage to cover the unsightly mess. In 2021, they were painstakingly restored and now look fabulous.
