EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. Captured in 1828 by John Chessell Buckler, it showcases the Shot Manufactory on Tooley Street, as seen from London Bridge in Bermondsey. The image transports us to a time when Britain's armaments industry was thriving, and this shot tower stood tall as a symbol of industrial prowess. The towering structure dominates the skyline, its imposing presence a testament to the country's manufacturing might. Surrounded by other buildings that line the avenue, we get a glimpse into the architectural landscape of old Bermondsey. The monochrome palette adds an air of nostalgia and highlights intricate details that may have gone unnoticed otherwise. As we look closer at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the sounds of horse-drawn carriages clattering along the road below. It is fascinating to imagine how this busy trade hub would have buzzed with activity during those days. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery archives, this photograph offers us a window into England's rich industrial heritage. It serves as a reminder of how far our society has come while honoring those who built our modern world brick by brick.
