EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Historic England takes us back to August 1959, capturing the essence of St Giles Cripplegate in London. Standing tall and proud, the church is seen in splendid isolation amidst a sea of empty plots. The aerial perspective reveals a street plan that stands out, showcasing the unique layout of this urban landscape. Intriguingly, signs of progress can be observed as new buildings have begun to emerge alongside the historic structures. However, it is the stark contrast between old and new that truly captures our attention. The church's timeless beauty seems untouched by time as it remains an architectural gem within its surroundings. Fast forward to today, and we find that much of this area has been transformed into the renowned Barbican Centre. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how landscapes evolve over time while preserving fragments of their past. The image itself exudes a sense of nostalgia with its black and white tones, transporting us back to an era where life moved at a different pace. It invites contemplation on how cities change and adapt throughout history while still retaining elements that make them unique. Through this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, Historic England allows us to appreciate both the rich heritage embedded within St Giles Cripplegate and witness firsthand how London's urban fabric continues to evolve through generations.
