A few problems were encountered but they might yet be overcome - hopefully they will.<br /><br />The exact address is 65, Cornhill and it currently houses the Shanghai Commercial Bank. Stories have been added and several changes made to the building but with some attention you will manage to see a resemblance to how it looked back when it housed the Smith, Elder offices (like this: http://www.underprints.com/Philately/ProtectiveOverprintsAndUnderprints/UserPages/SmithElder&Co/Images/65%20Cornhill%20-%20Smith%20Elder%20&%20co.jpg).<br /><br />If you are even remotely interested in the Brontës or Thackeray, you might also want to stop at 32 Cornhill on your way there as there is a door depicting them for no - to me - known reason there.Cristinahttp://bronteblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-68410545589636322022009-06-15T14:43:02.239+02:002009-06-15T14:43:02.239+02:00Hi

And could you tell me the exact address of these old offices for Smith, Elder as I'd really like to go and see the building?(My interest lies with Leslie Stephen and the DNB)<br />Many thanks<br />VanessaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-37949066717759102892007-03-24T19:04:00.000+01:002007-03-24T19:04:00.000+01:00Thank you for your suggestion.
