EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the year 1820, offering a glimpse into the south end of Old London Bridge. The intricate details of this print allow us to appreciate the architectural marvels that once graced the city's skyline. Standing tall and proud is the Shot Tower, its imposing structure reaching towards the heavens. Its purpose was clear - producing lead shot for muskets and cannons during a time when warfare dominated society. Adjacent to it stands St Olaves Church, an elegant place of worship with its spire piercing through the clouds. This historic church has witnessed centuries of London's history unfold within its walls. The scene captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing not only these remarkable landmarks but also providing insight into life along this bustling bridge two centuries ago. It transports us back to an era where horse-drawn carriages clattered across cobblestone streets and pedestrians hurriedly made their way from one side of the river Thames to another. Thanks to Walter Thornbury's work on "Old and New London" we are fortunate enough to have access to such vivid depictions of our past. Through digital restoration techniques, this image has been brought back to life, allowing us a window into history that would otherwise be lost. As we gaze upon this engraving today, we can't help but feel awe-inspired by how much has changed since then while cherishing those remnants that still stand as testaments to our rich heritage.
