Elephant and Castle, London - A Glimpse into the Past This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Elephant and Castle in London during the late 18th century. The image, devoid of the modern hustle and bustle, reveals a serene and picturesque scene that once was. The Elephant and Castle, a name derived from the ancient stone elephant and castle structure that once stood at its entrance, is a significant part of London's rich history. The area, located in the Southwark borough, has been a hub of activity since the Middle Ages, with the first recorded mention of an inn on the site dating back to 1723. In this photograph, the Castle, a coaching inn, stands proudly at the center, surrounded by a few modest buildings. The castle structure, a popular landmark, is visible atop the inn, with its majestic elephant statue standing guard. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, with trees lining the streets and a park in the distance. The late 18th century was a period of significant growth and development for Elephant and Castle. The area was a popular stop for travelers, with the construction of the Newington Butts Turnpike in 1755, which made it easier for coaches to reach the inn. The area also saw the establishment of several breweries, contributing to its reputation as a center for beer production. This photograph print, with its intriguing historical context, provides a captivating window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the evolution of Elephant and Castle from a coaching inn stop to the bustling and diverse area it is today.
