Strand Clearing: A Historical Moment in the Construction of the New Law Courts, London, 1871 This photograph, titled "Strand Clearing," offers a glimpse into the rich history of London's legal landscape. Taken in 1871, the image documents the early stages of the site clearance for the construction of the new Law Courts on the Strand. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in time as the old buildings and structures are systematically dismantled, making way for the modern, grand edifice that would soon rise. The scene is a bustling hive of activity, with laborers and horses working in unison to clear the land. The old buildings, some in various stages of demolition, stand in stark contrast to the clear, open space that will soon be filled with the new structures. The intricate details of the brickwork and the ornate designs of the buildings are on full display, providing a glimpse into the architectural styles of the time. This photograph is an essential piece of London's legal history, offering a unique perspective on the construction process of one of the city's most iconic structures. The image captures the spirit of progress and innovation, as well as the importance of preserving the past. The New Law Courts, which opened in 1882, would go on to become an enduring symbol of London's legal system and a testament to the city's architectural heritage. The photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical resource, providing a window into the past and offering insights into the construction process of one of London's most significant buildings. It is a reminder of the importance of documenting history and preserving the past for future generations.
