Capturing the Essence of Old London - St Mary Axe and St Andrew Undershaft, 1911
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of early 20th century London. The view of St Mary Axe and St Andrew Undershaft, looking south, offers a glimpse into a bygone era filled with architectural marvels and historical significance. On the left side of the photograph stands the City Arms Restaurant, its grand facade inviting passersby to indulge in culinary delights. As we follow our gaze down the street, we are greeted by Straker and Sons, renowned account book makers at that time. These establishments were not just mere shops; they were integral parts of daily life for locals who frequented them. The monochrome image beautifully captures the essence of this era's street lighting - casting an ethereal glow on cobblestone pavements as pedestrians go about their day. Amidst this scene lies two magnificent churches - St Mary Axe and St Andrew Undershaft - symbols of Christianity towering over everything else around them. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that religion played a significant role in shaping society during those times. This photograph serves as a reminder of how faith was interwoven into everyday life in England's capital city. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's archives, this anonymous piece allows us to appreciate London's rich heritage while reflecting on how much has changed since then. It is through
