EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1920s, captures a unique moment in the history of The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street - the Bank of England. In this image, we see the iconic statue of the Old Lady, her stern expression softened by the gentle touch of a woman's hand. This was not an ordinary interaction, but rather a historic moment, as part of the Bank of England building had been demolished, allowing the public to view the statues up close for the first time. The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, also known as the Lady of Threadneedle Street or Lady of the Thames, is a symbol of the Bank of England and the City of London. The statue, which depicts a woman holding a scepter and a mace, has been a part of the Bank's exterior since the late 19th century. However, due to the design of the building, the statues were previously not visible to the public. The demolition of part of the building in the 1920s, which is evident in the background of this photograph, changed all that. The removal of the wall allowed for a clear view of the statues, including the Old Lady, which became an instant draw for visitors. This photograph captures the beauty and historical significance of this moment, as the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street is finally revealed to the world. The image also serves as a reminder of the passage of time and the ever-changing nature of our cities. The Bank of England, which has been a cornerstone of London's financial district for centuries, continues to evolve, while the Old Lady remains a steadfast symbol of its rich history and tradition.
