10 Pavement, York: Pizza Hut (WiP 6)
To most people the building at number 10, Pavement is just Pizza Hut. The building however is more significant in the history of York. It was built in 1870 by Joseph Rowntree to provide a showcase for his growing chocolate business. He was born in 1834 in the building that preceded this one, a grocery shop with living accommodation above. He worked in the shop himself until 1869. By then Rowntrees had become a much larger enterprise which continued to grow. It was sold to Nestlé in 1980. The modern windows produce lovely reflections, including one of the post box opposite and the dresses in the window of Marks and Spencer. Drawn with a Staedtler 0.3mm pencil in an A4 cartridge paper sketchbook.
