170 x 118 mm. A view showing the front of the building on Pall Mall, with a large group of people posing in front of the store. This photograph is on a different mount to the rest of the portfolio and has no captions apart from ‘N.J. Claire, Photo, View Street, Sandhurst’. It was presumably taken to celebrate the opening of the new Beehive. The old Beehive stores, which Buick and Co. had shared with Moore Bros, was burnt down in August 1871. The new building, pictured here, was completed in 1872. Moore Bros. also found new premises of their own; their shop can be seen at the east end of Pall Mall in Y3087C/14 and Y3087C/24.
