The image showcases the demolition of numerous houses to make way for the impressive Holborn Valley Viaduct, a project that would forever alter the landscape of this historic area.
The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the scene on February 10, 1866, when work began on clearing space for the viaduct. The houses lining Holborn Hill are shown being carefully dismantled, their facades soon to be replaced by towering arches and thoroughfares. This snapshot in time serves as a reminder of London's constant evolution and adaptation to meet the needs of its growing population.
As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to a time when progress meant sacrificing familiar landmarks in favor of modern infrastructure.
