EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Whitehall Gardens in the 1930s, showcasing a moment frozen in time. The image showcases Malmesbury House and the entrance lodge to Pembroke House at 7 Whitehall Gardens from a unique north-west perspective. These elegant Georgian town houses, once standing proudly on this historic site, were unfortunately demolished in 1938 to make way for the Board of Trade and Air Ministry Building, later known as the Ministry of Defence. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of loss and destruction, highlighting how progress often comes at a cost. It is fascinating to witness these grand structures before their untimely demise, offering us a glimpse into London's rich architectural heritage. Charles William Prickett skillfully captured this scene with an artistic eye, preserving not only the physical appearance but also evoking emotions associated with such significant transformations. As we delve deeper into Historic England's collection, other photographs reveal glimpses of this building during its demolition phase - an intriguing contrast that further emphasizes the fleeting nature of our surroundings. This print stands as a testament to both preservation and change; it reminds us that even cherished landmarks can succumb to development pressures over time.
