The historical significance continued with an engraving capturing the birth of the First London County Council. This pivotal moment marked a new era for governance and progress within this great city.

Kingsway witnessed remarkable improvements throughout its progression from inception until captured by a photograph taken in 1905. Downing Street held secrets behind closed doors; inside Number 10 Downing Street lay the Cabinet Room where decisions shaping history were made since at least as far back as1927.
