Umbrella

This is a great old shop called James Smith & Sons, near Oxford Street selling mainly umbrellas, also has shooting sticks and canes and sunshades etc. Been open since 1830, obviously a good business to run in London!

Also a good excuse to link Rihanna@s biggest hit! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvBfHwUxHIk

I like all the shots you take of buildings, always nice to see the different people you capture.

Wow a shop that sells umbrellas! That would be a problem here, certainly wouldn't be in business for that long!

Ahh - I love this place. I bought my Dad a walking stick from here. The fixtures and fittings inside are good, lots of old mahogany drawers and cupboards. I've never noticed the red signs on the upper floors though! I really must look up more!

Love the look of this shop. Want to see people with umbrellas in front of it. This store would thrive in Seattle! Nice shot.

Okay--only in England could there be a shop that sells just umbrellas! haha That's really cool.
