EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic West End of Downing Street in central London, showcasing the renowned Number 10, the official residence of the British Prime Minister. Adjacent to it stands Number 11, which serves as the official residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The street itself was constructed by Sir George Downing in the 1680s and has since become a symbol of political power. In this snapshot from around 1935, members of the public can be seen strolling along this historic street. A glimpse of the Foreign Office adds to its grandeur and significance as a hub for governmental affairs. The image evokes a sense of openness and accessibility that has changed over time. Interestingly, security gates were introduced in later years during the 1980s, restricting public access to this once freely traversed area. This photograph thus offers us a unique perspective on an era when pedestrians could casually explore Downing Street without hindrance. Taken from "Wonderful London, Volume 3" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, this architectural marvel showcases not only historical buildings but also highlights how urban landscapes evolve with time. It is a testament to Britain's rich heritage and enduring political legacy that continues to shape our world today.
