EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant moment in London's history - the demolition of Temple Bar. Taken from the Mayson Beeton Collection, this image provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to Saturday, January 12,1878. At the center of attention is a steam-powered crane diligently assisting in dismantling the stonework of Temple Bar. This iconic gate, designed by renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren in 1672, once stood as a symbolic boundary between the Cities of London and Westminster. However, progress demanded its removal to make way for road widening. The woodcut engraving captures both the grandeur and fragility of this architectural masterpiece as it undergoes deconstruction. The intricate details etched on stone are now being carefully disassembled with precision and care. Though lost to time in its original location, there is solace knowing that much of Temple Bar's stonework has been repurposed for a reconstruction at Paternoster Square. This enduring legacy allows future generations to appreciate and connect with London's rich history. Preserved within Historic England Photo Library's archives, this photograph serves as an invaluable record of an important chapter in urban development. It reminds us that progress often comes at a cost but also highlights our commitment to preserving heritage for posterity.
