Boy serving refreshments in a Nevill's cooling room

             
Boy serving refreshments in one of Nevill's cooling rooms.

This was a much less well furnished and decorated cooling room than those in, for example, Northumberland Avenue or Broad Street. Given the 'temporary' ceiling supports, it is rather surprising that Nevill's thought it worthwhile to have such a postcard produced showing one of their less attractive establishments.
