EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1904, showcases the iconic Clock Tower at Victoria Station in Pimlico, London. Known as "Little Ben" due to its resemblance to the famous Big Ben clock tower in Westminster, this clock tower has stood as a landmark since its construction in 1864. In the background, the Royal Standard Music Hall can be seen. This historic building was erected on the site of the Royal Standard Hotel, which was established in 1832. The music hall, designed by architect Frank Matcham, opened its doors in 1886 and was a popular venue for music hall performances and variety shows. However, the music hall's glory days were short-lived. It was demolished in 1910 to make way for the current Victoria Palace Theatre. Designed by the renowned architect Frank Matcham, the Victoria Palace Theatre is still a significant cultural landmark in London, having hosted numerous West End productions over the years. The photograph also captures the bustling activity of the street scene. Horse-drawn omnibuses and buses are visible, adding to the sense of movement and energy in the area. The Clock Tower, with its distinctive red, white, and black colors, stands proudly at the heart of it all, a testament to the rich history of this vibrant and ever-changing part of London.
