Temple Bar, London, 1805. Artist: Busby
Temple Bar, London, 1805. The Temple Bar stood at the junction of Fleet Street and The Strand and marked the western boundary of the City of London. The gate was rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren in the 1670s. It was moved in 1878 in the interest of road widening in and re-erected two years later as the gate to Theobalds Park, the home of the brewer Henry Meux in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. In 2004 it was brought back to London as part of the Paternoster Square redevelopment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Temple Bar in London, captured by the talented artist Busby in 1805. The Temple Bar, a grand gate standing proudly at the junction of Fleet Street and The Strand, served as a significant landmark marking the western boundary of the City of London. Originally built by Sir Christopher Wren during the 1670s, this architectural masterpiece was admired for its intricate design and historical significance. However, due to road widening plans in 1878, it was dismantled and relocated to Theobalds Park in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. It found a new purpose as the entrance gate to Henry Meux's residence. After more than a century away from its original location, this magnificent structure made its triumphant return to London as part of the Paternoster Square redevelopment project in 2004. The monochrome image beautifully captures both the grandeur and simplicity of this archway that has witnessed centuries pass by. Its black-and-white composition adds an air of timelessness while emphasizing every architectural feature meticulously crafted by Sir Christopher Wren himself. As we gaze upon this remarkable print created by Busby, we are transported back to an era when British history unfolded on these very streets. This photograph serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage and reminds us of how architecture can transcend time and connect generations through its enduring beauty.
