EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the nostalgic charm of "The Golden Axe Inn" at the corner of St. Mary Axe and Bevis Marks, near Bishopsgate in London. Taken around 1883 by Henry Dixon, this image is part of a series documenting endangered buildings in Old London. The inn's facade stands proudly with its jettied and gabled architecture, showcasing the unique vernacular style of that era. Despite its dilapidated state, there is an undeniable beauty in its rundown appearance, evoking a sense of history and character. As we gaze upon this Victorian-era pub frozen in time, we can almost imagine the lively conversations and clinking glasses that once filled its walls. The cantilevered structure adds to the intrigue as it extends over the bustling city streets below. Sadly, like many other historical landmarks captured by Dixon's lens, The Golden Axe Inn met its demise in the 1880s when it was demolished. However, through this photograph, we are granted a glimpse into a bygone era where architectural marvels like these were commonplace. Henry Dixon's photography serves as a valuable record of London's past for future generations to appreciate and learn from. This particular print showcases not only his skill behind the camera but also highlights how urban landscapes have evolved over time.
