EDITORS COMMENTS

The image showcases the magnificent Weigh-House Chapel, a Dissenters chapel built above the Kings Weigh House in 1697. Its purpose was to serve as a place of worship for those who deviated from mainstream Christianity. The chapel's location holds great significance as it stood atop the very site where Merchant Strangers had their goods weighed for customs duties. This architectural marvel operated until 1834 when it relocated to larger premises. Captured by an unknown creator and featured in Walter Thornbury's renowned publication "Old and New London" this photograph transports us through time. It offers a glimpse into a bustling street scene with its monochrome charm highlighting intricate details of this historic building.

Let this print spark your imagination as you delve into the stories hidden within its walls – tales of devotion, occupation, and religious freedom that shaped not only Eastcheap but also England itself.
