EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of London's rich history - the London Wall Newgate in 1903. The 20-meter length of Roman wall was uncovered during the demolition of Newgate Prison, shedding light on the city's ancient past. This archaeological discovery provided valuable insights into London's Roman roots and offered a glimpse into what life was like centuries ago.
The image showcases the impressive structure of the wall, standing tall and sturdy despite its age. The intricate details and craftsmanship are evident, serving as a testament to the skill and ingenuity of those who built it so many years ago. It is a reminder of how civilizations have come and gone, leaving behind remnants that tell stories of their existence.
Sadly, this piece of history was not meant to last forever. Just as it was revealed to the world, it met its own demise when it was subsequently demolished. However, through photographs like this one, we can still appreciate and learn from these important relics of our past.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our historical heritage for future generations to cherish and study.
