A London furniture store that stood for more than 100 years was destroyed in the August 2011 riots, according to the Daily Mirror. Croydon family business Reeves - which stood on Reeves Corner, named for the shop - was torched as the violence spread. Owner Trevor Reeves told Sky News: "Words fail me. It's just gone, it's five generations. My father is distraught at the moment. It's just mindless thuggery."
