EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cripplegate and Neighbourhood" takes us back to the enchanting streets of 19th century London. Created by an unknown artist, this map showcases a part of the City of London before the development of Finsbury Square in 1777. The image transports us to a time when this area was still a lush green space known as Finsburie Fyeld (Finsbury Field). The old Roman walls stand tall and proud, enclosing the city with their ancient charm. Amongst these historic fortifications, we catch a glimpse of More gate (Moorgate), adding another layer to the rich history depicted in this print.
