This scaffolding was outside the Post Office in King William IV Street near Charing Cross last year - now the Post office is closed.
The scaffolding has mostly come down since I last saw the Custard Factory's Devonshire House. It was still up when I took it last in October 2009. It is nice to see it like this again, although there is still barriers at the bottom. I hope that they have removed the graffiti that was on the bottom of the building last year (when sections were exposed to vandals).
My bus route switched to Bradford Street, so I can't see it from the bus anymore.
Was part of the Devonshire Works of Alfred Bird & Sons.
It was built in 1902.
Pevsner description:
Six-bay centre of 1902 with buff terracotta arches and windows, ornate lettering and a rich shaped gable with a ship in tilework. Parapet cut out like a pie-crust, waiting for custard.
Devonshire House is a Grade II listed building.
1902. Red brick and terracotta with some stone dressings. Four storeys plus attic;
3 bays. Ground floor of terracotta with 6 windows in recesses with ause-de-panier
arches, those of the 2 outside bays with ogee gablets. The 3 storeys above are
separated vertically by thin polygonal shafts with decorative finials which divide
the bays, and horizontally by wide bands of brick to the outside and of terracotta
to the centre. In the centre, the bands inscribed 'Alfred Bird and Sons Limited/
Devonshire Works/1837 and 1902' with foliage. Within the grid of shafts and bands,

the second and third floors with central windows of cross type and outer couplets

2 arched windows, tilework of a ship in full sail and little pinnacles. Left and

This scaffolding is on hollywood rd, the renovation is on the second story and contrasts against the galleries and antique shops next to it. The place that was being renovated seemed like a gallery. Many galleries are moving into the area due to the lower rent and pushing out local stores

Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to support people and material in the construction or repair of buildings and other large structures. It is usually a modular system of metal pipes or tubes, although it can be from other materials. Bamboo is frequently used in Asia, such as Hong Kong.
腳手架，亦稱為鷹架，是一種臨時性的建築工具，用來支持正在組建或重建的樓房或建築物，亦用於輪船等大型的移動式物品。通常是由金屬導管組成的模塊化工具，也有使用其他材料製成，比如在東方國家就有用竹子製成的支架。
