EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the heart of Great London in 1835, depicts Fish Street Hill looking south towards The Monument. The Monument, an iconic landmark and a symbol of resilience, stands proudly on the southern side of the city, a reminder of the Great Fire of London that ravaged the area in 1666. Fish Street Hill, a historic street named after the fishmongers who once sold their wares here, is lined with elegant Georgian houses and shops. The cobblestone street, slick with rainwater, reflects the light of the gas lamps, casting a warm, inviting glow over the scene. In the foreground, a group of firefighters can be seen gathered around a horse-drawn fire engine. Their serious expressions and focused demeanor convey a sense of urgency and duty. The fire engine, with its red body and gleaming brass fittings, stands ready to respond to any emergency. The sky above is overcast, with dark clouds looming ominously. A comet, visible in the night sky, adds an otherworldly touch to the scene. The combination of the historic street, the fire brigade, and the ominous sky creates a sense of intrigue and excitement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1830s and the bustling streets of Great London. It is a reminder of the city's rich history, its resilience, and the importance of its fire brigade in protecting its people and their homes.
