EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Hungerford Market from the Bridge in 1850, as depicted in a publication from 1881. The market, situated near Charing Cross in London, was constructed between 1831 and 1833 with an elegant Italianate style by architect Charles Fowler, renowned for his work on Covent Garden Market. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when the neighboring Hungerford Hall caught fire in 1854, causing significant damage to the market. Eventually, the site was sold to the South Eastern Railway and transformed into Charing Cross Station. The image showcases a bustling scene of trade and occupation during the Victorian era. People can be seen going about their daily activities amidst this architectural marvel of its time. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot of history. Preserved within this print is not only a visual representation of nineteenth-century England but also a testament to human resilience and adaptability as structures evolve over time. It serves as a reminder that even though buildings may change or disappear altogether, they leave behind traces of their existence through photographs like these. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we are able to appreciate this remarkable piece of history today without commercial use intentions but rather for educational purposes or personal enjoyment.
