Demolition at Whitehall Gardens CXP01_01_075
WHITEHALL GARDENS, WHITEHALL, CITY OF WESTMINSTER, GREATER LONDON. A view of the remains of Whitehall Gardens seen during demolition with a cupola on the War Office building visible in the background.
The Georgian town houses in Whitehall Gardens were demolished in 1938 to make way for the Board of Trade and Air Ministry Building, later the Ministry of Defence. However, due to the Second World War the construction of the new building was only started after the war. The remains shown in this photograph may be that of Malmesbury House.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Whitehall Gardens, located in the heart of Westminster, Greater London. The image showcases the aftermath of a demolition project that took place in 1938, forever altering the landscape of this Georgian townhouse enclave. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn to the remains of what was once a thriving community. The destruction is evident as rubble and debris litter the ground where elegant homes once stood. In the background, a cupola atop the War Office building peeks through as if bearing witness to this transformation. The demolitions were carried out to pave way for an ambitious plan - constructing a new Board of Trade and Air Ministry Building that would later become known as the Ministry of Defence. However, due to unforeseen circumstances brought about by World War II, construction on this grand vision had to be postponed until after hostilities ceased. Intriguingly, these remnants captured by Charles William Prickett's lens might belong specifically to Malmesbury House – one among many architectural gems lost during this period of change and progress. This photograph serves as both a testament to loss and destruction but also sparks curiosity about how cities evolve over time. It reminds us that even amidst upheaval and transformation, there is beauty in capturing moments frozen in time like this one from Historic England's archives.
