EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Grays Inn Lane, Holborn in 1878. The image showcases a street that is steeped in history, with its cobbled roads and charming architecture. The entrance to Verulam Buildings, which sadly no longer exists as it was demolished in order to widen the street, takes center stage in this snapshot. The photo is part of a series of 120 images taken by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London between 1875-87. This society was founded in 1873 with the aim of documenting buildings that were at risk of demolition. It serves as a testament to their dedication to preserving London's architectural heritage. As we delve into this picture, we are transported back to a time when wooden shops lined the streets and gabled houses stood proudly side by side. The Victorian shingled facades exude an air of elegance while hinting at influences from Jacobean and even earlier eras such as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over centuries. It allows us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship that once adorned our urban landscapes while acknowledging the changes that progress brings along.
