EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of early 20th century London. Standing proudly on the corner of Gracechurch Street and Fenchurch Street, we are presented with a magnificent architectural masterpiece - the London & South Western Bank. Designed by the talented Edward Gabriel, this branch opened its doors to eager customers in 1912. The grandeur of this building is evident from every angle captured by Harry Bedford Lemere's lens. Its imposing presence dominates the surrounding landscape, showcasing intricate details that speak volumes about the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The bank's facade exudes an air of sophistication, with ornate columns and decorative elements adorning its exterior. Sadly, time has not been kind to this once-majestic structure as it now exists only in memories and photographs like these. Despite its eventual demolition, this image serves as a poignant reminder of London's ever-changing urban landscape. Through Historic England's preservation efforts, we can appreciate the historical significance encapsulated within each frame captured by Bedford Lemere. This particular photograph allows us to glimpse into a specific moment in history when banking institutions were symbols of stability and prosperity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of architectural heritage frozen in time, let us reflect on how our cities evolve over centuries while still preserving fragments from their past for generations to come.
