EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1820, providing a glimpse into the south end of Old London Bridge. The shot tower, which tragically burned down later on, stands tall and proud alongside St. Olaves Church on Tooley Street. Both structures have since vanished from the landscape, making this image all the more precious. The foreground showcases the old London Bridge itself, an iconic symbol of British history and architecture. Its sturdy presence connects both sides of the River Thames in London, serving as a lifeline for transportation and trade throughout centuries. Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places" immortalizes this moment in time. Through his words and imagery captured by an unknown photographer from Cassell Company Ltd. , we are transported to a bygone era filled with bustling activity along the riverbanks. As we admire this monochrome scene steeped in nostalgia, it is impossible not to ponder upon how much has changed over nearly two centuries. This photograph serves as a reminder that our cities are constantly evolving landscapes shaped by progress but also marked by loss. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past as they offer valuable insights into our shared heritage and remind us that even though buildings may crumble or disappear entirely, their stories continue to resonate within our collective memory.
