Demolition at Whitehall Gardens CXP01_01_077
PEMBROKE HOUSE, WHITEHALL GARDENS, WHITEHALL, CITY OF WESTMINSTER, GREATER LONDON. A view of the remains of Pembroke House at 7 Whitehall Gardens seen during demolition.
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. In the photograph, a sign on the entrance lodge to number 7 states that the Ministry of Transport has removed to Metropole Buildings, Northumberland Avenue WC2.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the scene of demolition at Whitehall Gardens, specifically focusing on the remains of Pembroke House. The once grand Georgian town houses in this prestigious area of Greater London were tragically demolished in 1938 to make way for the Board of Trade and Air Ministry Building, which would later become the Ministry of Defence. However, due to the outbreak of World War II, construction on the new building was delayed until after the war had ended. In this photograph, we can see a sign displayed on the entrance lodge to number 7 indicating that the Ministry of Transport has relocated to Metropole Buildings on Northumberland Avenue WC2. The image evokes a sense of loss and destruction as we witness these historic buildings being torn down. It serves as a reminder that progress often comes at a cost, with heritage sometimes sacrificed for modernization. Photographer Charles William Prickett skillfully captures both the physical remnants and emotional weight associated with such demolitions. This print is not just an artistic representation but also an important historical document showcasing how urban landscapes evolve over time. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time and compelled to reflect upon our own responsibility in preserving our architectural heritage amidst inevitable change.
