Wrens Plan for Rebuilding London, (1897). Creator: Unknown
Wrens Plan for Rebuilding London, (1897). After the Great Fire of London in 1666, Christopher Wren was among several people to draw up plans for a new capital city. Wrens vision, with piazzas and boulevards in the French style, was not used, however, and London was rebuilt according to the old medieval street plan. Places marked here include the Tower of London, Customs House and Billingsgate on the River Thames, the Guildhall and the old Roman walls. From Old and New London, Volume I, by Walter Thornbury. [Cassell and Company, Limited, London, Paris & Melbourne, 1897]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Wren's Plan for Rebuilding London" in 1897, a vision that was never realized. After the devastating Great Fire of London in 1666, Christopher Wren and others proposed various plans for a new capital city. Wren's design featured French-inspired piazzas and boulevards, but ultimately London was reconstructed following the medieval street plan. The photograph highlights significant landmarks such as the Tower of London, Customs House, Billingsgate on the River Thames, Guildhall, and the old Roman walls. It is taken from Walter Thornbury's publication "Old and New London" providing valuable historical insight into the city during this period. Although Wren's ambitious plan did not come to fruition, this image offers a glimpse into his innovative thinking and desire to transform London into a modern metropolis. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot of urban planning from centuries past. As we observe this print today, it serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while retaining their unique character. While Wren's vision may have been overlooked at that time, it remains an important part of architectural history and contributes to our understanding of London's development throughout different eras.
