1866 1989 Circus Ludgate Removed Route Master
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling Ludgate Hill in London during the 1960s, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history. From Ludgate Circus, we see a view looking towards the iconic St Paul's Cathedral, standing majestically in the distance.
The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the bridge that once spanned across Ludgate Hill. Built in 1866, this architectural marvel was a prominent feature of the cityscape for over a century before being removed in 1989. The absence of the bridge today serves as a reminder of how urban landscapes evolve and change over time.
In addition to showcasing historical landmarks like St Paul's Cathedral and Ludgate Hill, this print also features classic red Route Master buses navigating through the streets. These vintage vehicles add an extra layer of nostalgia to an already charming scene.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from decades past, we are transported back to a bygone era when London was teeming with life and activity. The juxtaposition of old and new elements in this image serves as a poignant reminder of how cities like London continue to reinvent themselves while preserving their unique heritage.
