Exeter Change by Charles Robinson

Built on the site of St. Clement Danes rectory by William Cecil, Lord Burleigh, in 1600, it was originally called Exeter House. Nash, the architect, planned to replace it by a similar bazaar, but instead the Lower Arcade between Adelaide Street and the Strand was constructed. Coutts Bank now stands approximately on the site depicted here. Date: 1951

EDITORS COMMENTS
Exeter Change: A Glance into the Past of London's Strand This evocative print by Charles Robinson, dated 1951, captures a long-lost scene from the historic Strand in London. The image transports us back to the early 18th century, as we witness the hustle and bustle of a visit to the menagerie at Exeter Change. Exeter Change, originally known as Exeter House, was built in 1600 by William Cecil, Lord Burleigh, on the site of St. Clement Danes rectory. Over two centuries later, in the 1830s, the building was destroyed to make way for road widening. Before its demise, however, English architect, Nash, had planned to replace it with a similar bazaar. Instead, the Lower Arcade between Adelaide Street and the Strand was constructed, which now houses Coutts Bank, approximately on the site depicted in this print. The menagerie at Exeter Change was a popular attraction for Londoners and tourists alike. In this scene, we see a diverse collection of horses and carriages, with their proud owners and handlers, as well as onlookers, gathered around the exotic animals. The horses, with their varied coats and harnesses, display the rich tapestry of equestrian culture during this period. The print, drawn in the 1950s, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this bustling scene. The menagerie at Exeter Change stands as a testament to the history and character of London's Strand, a place where the old and the new coexisted, and where the charm of the past lingered on.
