"Dancer with Ribbon" – The former Bourne and Hollingsworth Department Store, Oxford Street, London, England

This building at 120 Oxford Street was once home to the Bourne and Hollingsworth Department Store. That company closed its doors in 1983 and subsequently the building was converted into the Plaza Shopping Centre.

According to Wikipedia, "Bourne and Hollingsworth was a large department store on the corner of Oxford Street and Berners Street. It was named after its founders, Walter William Bourne and Howard E Hollingsworth, brothers in law, who started the store in Westbourne Grove as a drapery store in 1894. The store then moved to the Oxford Street site in 1902 (built in 1894) due to competition with Whiteleys, and by 1928 the store had been remodelled (by Slater & Moberley in the Art Deco style. Bourne and Hollingsworth became renowned for selling the best quality goods and for looking after their staff, providing accommodation at Warwickshire House on Gower Street for up to 600 female workers. Like much of Oxford Street, the store suffered bomb damage in 1940, however today much of the art deco facade still survives."

The sculpture on the facade of the Plaza replaced the clock that was mounted there originally. It is known as "Dancer with Ribbon" created by Michael Rizzello and is apparently based on / inspired by the ballet dancer Darcey Bussell.
