Jigsaw Puzzles from Historic England
Oxford Arms Inn AL1827_006_01
Oxford Arms Inn, Oxford Arms Passage, Warwick Lane, City of London. Alfred and John Bool (1850-'1933) of Pimlico photographed the Oxford Arms Inn, an increasingly rare survival of a galleried coaching inn, for the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London when the future of the building was uncertain. The elevated view, capturing the dome and towers of St Pauls Cathedral, was taken from a window of the Central Criminal Court. The record value of this photograph and others in the series was realised just three years later when in 1878 the Oxford Arms was demolished, making way for a range of houses built for the Minor Canons of St Pauls by the architect Ewan Christian.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Oxford Arms Inn AL1827_006_01" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of City of London during the Victorian era. The talented photographers Alfred and John Bool, known for their remarkable work capturing relics of old London, immortalized the Oxford Arms Inn through their lens. This inn was a rare gem, as it stood as one of the few remaining galleried coaching inns at that time. The photograph offers an elevated view from a window at the Central Criminal Court, allowing us to marvel at the majestic dome and towers of St Paul's Cathedral in the distance. It serves as a poignant reminder of how architecture can shape our landscape and evoke a sense of history. At the moment this photograph was taken by Historic England's Society for Photographing Relics of Old London, uncertainty loomed over the future fate of this iconic building. Little did they know that just three years later, in 1878, demolition would claim this historical treasure forever. Today, we are fortunate to have this carbon print as a testament to what once was—a vibrant public house where locals gathered and stories were shared. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and appreciate those who tirelessly document such invaluable moments in time.
