EDITORS COMMENTS
This image brings us back in time to the heart of medieval London, showcasing the remnants of a C15 building, popularly known as The Old Fountain in the Minories. Dating back to approximately 1480, this historical structure was renowned for its solid and robust construction. As the city grew and evolved, the need for expansion eventually led to its demise. In 1793, the once imposing building met its end when an impressive feat of strength was required to pull it apart. Three horses were enlisted to strain against the ancient timbers, a testament to the immense power and resilience needed to bring down this relic of the past. The Minories, a historic street in the City of London, was once home to numerous religious houses and guilds. This building, with its rich history and intricate design, would have stood proudly amongst them. Its demolition marks the passage of time and the ever-changing landscape of the city. Today, as we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our history. The Old Fountain in the Minories may no longer stand, but its legacy lives on through the stories it has left behind and the memories it has etched in the annals of time. This photograph, captured by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers us a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the depths of London's rich and intriguing history.
