EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1925, offers a unique perspective of London's historic Ludgate Hill, with St. Paul's Cathedral's iconic dome dominating the skyline. The scene is further enriched by the presence of a South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SE&CR) steam locomotive, which seems to defy logic as it crosses Ludgate Viaduct without any carriages attached. The railway bridge and viaduct, which ran between Holborn Viaduct and Blackfriars stations, was a significant part of London's transport infrastructure during the early 20th century. However, the locomotive in this image appears to be on the wrong line, adding an intriguing element to the photograph. The SE&CR steam engine, with its powerful presence and billowing smoke, contrasts starkly with the architectural grandeur of St. Paul's Cathedral. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the coexistence of two distinct eras – the industrial revolution and the architectural splendor of London. It is important to note that this photograph does not depict a commercial use of the railway, but rather a moment in time, frozen for posterity. The railway bridge and viaduct, which once connected Holborn Viaduct and Blackfriars stations, were finally demolished in 1990. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of London's rich railway history and the transformation of its urban landscape.
