New Buckingham-Gate, St. James's Park, 1857. Creator: Unknown
New Buckingham-Gate, St. James's Park, [London], 1857. View of...the new Lodge and Buckingham Gate...the Park Lodge, which stood between the terminus of the road that passes in front of the Wellington Barracks and that through the Park has been removed; likewise the single gates, and in place of them handsome double gates, two to each entrance, have been erected; and a new lodge has been built...Our Artist has peopled his Illustration with the life and bustle of the full tide of the season. The style of the gates is good, and the stone piers and cast-iron gates are decidedly an improvement upon the brick piers and lumbering wooden gate of former days. The change has been somewhat costly; for the expense of taking down and rebuilding the lodge at Buckingham Gate, and the new gates and piers and approaches to the park, has been £2450'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857

New Buckingham-Gate, St. James's Park, London, 1857: A Transformation in Urban Landscape This photograph, taken in 1857, depicts New Buckingham-Gate, the entrance to St. James's Park in London. The scene showcases the newly erected Lodge and double gates, replacing the old single gates and the lumbering wooden gate of yesteryears. The Wellington Barracks, a prominent military installation, can be seen in the background. Our artist has masterfully illustrated the bustling life of the season, with horse-drawn carriages and vehicles, soldiers on parade, and people going about their day. The new gates, with their elegant stone piers and cast-iron gates, are a marked improvement from the old brick piers and wooden gates. The change, although costly, totaling £2450 for the demolition and reconstruction of the lodge, gates, and approaches to the park, has brought a sense of grandeur and modernity to the area. The street is illuminated by gas lamps, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the scene. Horse-drawn vehicles, with their horses in harness, dominate the road transport scene, while soldiers on parade add a sense of discipline and order. This photograph, taken from 'Illustrated London News', offers a glimpse into the daily life of London during the nineteenth century, showcasing the city's evolution and transformation. The intricate wood engraving technique used to create this print adds to its historical significance and visual appeal. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of London, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the city's ever-changing urban landscape.
