EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic Queens Head Inn Yard in Southwark, London, circa 1881. Taken by Henry Dixon as part of a series documenting endangered buildings in Old London, this image showcases the architectural beauty of a coaching inn that served its purpose until the late 19th century. The photo reveals an urban scene filled with intriguing details. A guest house stands proudly at the entrance of the yard, its facade displaying Victorian-era charm. A cart is parked nearby, adding to the sense of bustling activity within this courtyard. The passage leading into the inn's interior beckons visitors to explore further. Despite its rundown appearance, remnants of grandeur can still be seen in this vernacular architecture. The photographer skillfully captures both the historical significance and dilapidation of this South London gem. Published between 1875-87 by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London, these images aimed to document structures at risk of demolition. This particular print now resides in a private collection but remains out-of-copyright for public enjoyment. Through photography, we are transported back to a time when Queens Head Inn Yard was alive with travelers and locals alike. It serves as a testament to our ever-changing urban landscapes and reminds us to appreciate and preserve our architectural heritage.
