EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Cheapside, London, 1895: A Historic Scene Before the Storm This evocative photograph captures the essence of Cheapside in London during the late 19th century. The image, taken in 1895, portrays a bustling commercial hub teeming with activity. The heart of the scene is the ancient Church of St Mary-le-Bow, located on the left side of the street. Its distinctive bell tower, housing the renowned Bow Bells, stands proudly against the London skyline. St Mary-le-Bow, also known as the 'Bow Church,' has a rich history dating back to the 11th century. It was a significant landmark, not only for its religious significance but also for its role in London's history. The church was one of the traditional starting points for the Lord Mayor's procession and the place where a person born within its parish was considered a true 'cockney.' However, the tranquility and grandeur of this scene were short-lived. In the early hours of March 29, 1941, during World War II, the church was destroyed by German bombs. The loss of St Mary-le-Bow was a significant blow to Londoners, as it represented not only the destruction of a historic building but also the erasure of a piece of their city's rich heritage. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. It invites us to reflect on the transience of time and the importance of preserving the historical legacy of our cities. The image of Cheapside, London, in 1895, stands as a testament to the city's resilience and its ability to rebuild and adapt in the face of adversity. Mary Evans Picture Library / Bridgeman Images.
