The Coal Exchange, City of London, c1910 (1911). Artist: Pictorial Agency
The Coal Exchange, City of London, c1910 (1911). The London Coal Exchange was situated on the north side of Thames Street, occupying three different structures from 1770 to 1962. The original coal exchange opened in 1770. A second building from 1805 was replaced by a new purpose built structure constructed from 1847 to 1849, opened by Prince Albert on 30 October 1849. The building was designed James Bunstone Bunning (1802-1863), who held the post of architect to the City of London from 1843 until his death. The Coal Exchange was demolished in 1962 to enable the widening of Lower Thames Street. From London - The City, by Sir Walter Besant. [Adam & Charles Black, London, 1911]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of The Coal Exchange in the City of London, circa 1910. The historic building, which served as a hub for coal trading, stood proudly on the north side of Thames Street for nearly two centuries. Designed by renowned architect James Bunstone Bunning, it was opened with great pomp and ceremony by Prince Albert in 1849. The image captures a bustling scene outside the majestic structure, depicting a snapshot of life in early 20th century London. Horse-drawn vehicles traverse the road while pedestrians navigate their way through this vibrant cityscape. The architectural beauty of the Coal Exchange is evident in its towering columns and pillars that exude an air of elegance. Sadly, this iconic landmark met its demise in 1962 when it was demolished to make way for progress - specifically to widen Lower Thames Street. However, thanks to photographs like these preserved over time, we can still appreciate and marvel at its significance within British history. This evocative print transports us back to an era when coal played a vital role in fueling Britain's industrial revolution. It serves as a reminder not only of our past but also highlights how architecture can be both functional and visually stunning.
