I went for a wee walk today and found this rather wonderful building
Its in Hollen Street which backs onto Oxford Street. The building dates back to 1887, but Henry Heath had been making posh hats since the Regency. Of course its not a hat factory anymore, but home to various creative offices, where no doubt they appreciate the rather lovely lettering outside.
Anyhow if you take a walk around the corner into Oxford Street you see this ornate pile above the Officer's Club shop
This is where Heath's hat shop was. It was designed by the architects Christopher and White and if you look way up you can just about see three stone beavers
Cute you may think, until you investigate the beaver's role in the Victorian hat industry!
If you want to find this building its opposite the 100 Club.

Made me think of cocking one's beaver (in the nicest possible way of course) hee hee. Lovely buildings, but they were back then x
