EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Government Offices Great George Street (GOGGS) in Westminster, London, circa 1910. The grand building served as the home to HM Treasury and parts of the Cabinet Office during this period. Its construction occurred in two phases, with the West end being completed in 1908 and the East end finalized in 1917. The basement of this architectural marvel holds a significant historical treasure - the Churchill War Rooms. These underground chambers witnessed pivotal moments during World War II and now stand as a testament to Britain's resilience. In this snapshot captured by Valentine's postcard producers around 1910, we see an urban scene bustling with life on Great George Street. People of all walks of life traverse its lanes: women gracefully stroll alongside men who are engrossed in their daily office routines. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless charm to this image from early 20th century London. It transports us back to an era when horse-drawn carriages shared space with automobiles on city roads. Great George Street stands proudly within Westminster, representing not only a physical location but also symbolizing power and governance at its core. This print serves as a remarkable reminder of our rich history and how these government offices have played an integral role in shaping our nation throughout time.
