EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Southwark and London Bridge as they appeared around 1546. The detailed artwork, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this iconic area. As we explore the image, our eyes are drawn to several notable landmarks that defined the landscape during that era. Baynard Castle stands proudly on its riverside perch, while Fishmongers Hall and Southwark Palace command attention with their grandeur. St Saviours Church rises majestically amidst a cluster of buildings along Kent Road, adding a touch of spiritual significance to the scene. The River Thames flows gracefully through this vibrant cityscape, connecting various points of interest such as Queen Hythe and Stews. London Bridge itself becomes a focal point with its architectural marvels including Winchester House, St Georges Church, Rochester House, and Priory of St Mary Overy. A sense of community is palpable as we envision people going about their daily lives along High Street. The presence of St Thomass Hospital and Chapel reminds us of the importance placed on healthcare even centuries ago. This engraving not only captures historical structures but also preserves memories from bygone times – from trade at Steel Yard to religious devotion at St Olaves Church. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit and resilience that have shaped Southwark throughout history.
