In "St. Bartholomews: The Churchyard Looking towards Cloth Fair, " Dixon transports us back to the bustling streets of London in 1877, with its charming houses and vibrant atmosphere. He also delves into history with "The Group of Houses in Cliffords Inn Dating Prior to the Great Fire of 1666. " This painting provides a glimpse into what life was like before this devastating event reshaped the cityscape.

These include representations of Fine Art, Agriculture, Commerce, and Science – each symbolizing different facets crucial to society at that time. His involvement extended even further through his depiction of significant events such as the opening ceremony for Holborn Viaduct itself or capturing figures looking over Shoe Lane Bridge.
