This 1980 view shows Mr Caesar’s Place on the corner of Bensham Lane in Croydon, a small but eye-catching premises with a decorative frontage designed to stand out from the ordinary street around it. The building is finished in cream and brown panels with ornamental detailing, red awnings and a prominent sign above, giving it a slightly theatrical look typical of small independent restaurants and clubs of the period. The Bensham Lane street sign fixes the location clearly, while the glimpse of the wider junction beyond helps place it in the everyday streetscape of Broad Green. It is a useful record of a very local corner business, the sort of modest but distinctive place that often disappeared without much trace as high streets and neighbourhood shopping streets changed in the decades that followed.
