EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 17th century image from Mary Evans Prints Online, the Old Wooden Temple Bar of London stands proudly, its intricately carved arches and archway a testament to the rich history of this ancient city. Nestled within the heart of the metropolis, this historic structure once served as a crucial gateway, marking the boundary between the City of London and the rural areas beyond. The Old Wooden Temple Bar, built in the late 16th or early 17th century, was named after the Knights Templar, a medieval Christian military order. Its wooden construction, now long gone, once provided a striking contrast against the stone structures that dominated the London landscape. The bar's most distinctive feature, however, was the small prison that was housed above it. The presence of the prison above the Temple Bar was a reminder of the harsh realities of life in the bustling city. Those who were unable to pay their debts or had been accused of petty crimes would often find themselves incarcerated within its cold, damp walls. The prison served as a grim reminder of the consequences of not adhering to the strict laws and regulations of the time. Despite its ominous past, the Old Wooden Temple Bar remains an iconic symbol of London's rich history. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with the arches and archway framing the entrance to the city, and the smoky clouds of a great fire in the distance adding a sense of drama and intrigue. The Old Wooden Temple Bar, with its dark past and storied history, continues to captivate and inspire, a testament to the enduring allure of London's ancient past.
