EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian photograph, captured by the talented Edmund D Yates, transports us back to the vibrant past of Southwark's iconic landmark - The Ring. Formerly known as Surrey Chapel until its closure in 1881, this architectural gem underwent a fascinating transformation into a boxing arena from 1910 onwards. Standing tall on Blackfriars Road in Southwark, London, The Ring became synonymous with thrilling bouts and unforgettable sporting moments. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness The Ring at the pinnacle of its glory. Its grandeur is evident through intricate details that adorn its façade - ornate arches and towering columns exude an air of elegance and prestige. This historic print allows us to marvel at the craftsmanship that went into creating such an extraordinary structure. Tragically, during World War II's Blitz bombings, The Ring fell victim to destruction. Yet through this photograph, we are granted a glimpse into its heyday when it stood as a testament to both architectural brilliance and communal spirit. Edmund D Yates skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the essence of this beloved venue. His lens immortalizes an era where spectators would gather eagerly for exhilarating matches within these hallowed walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, let us appreciate both the artistry behind Yates' work and pay homage to The Ring's enduring legacy as an emblematic part of Southwark's rich history.
