The image, filled with the charm of the early 1900s, showcases the grandeur and historical significance of this iconic British institution. 3. The Royal Naval College, located in the heart of Greenwich, has a rich history that spans over four centuries. Established in 1873, it was designed by the renowned architects Alfred and Pugin, and is a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. 4. In this photograph, we see the college's impressive Tudor-style buildings, nestled along the tranquil River Thames. The college's imposing Painted Hall, with its stunning baroque interior, is visible in the background. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a steam tug and a barge, adding a touch of industrial charm to the idyllic setting. 5. The steam tug, with its powerful puffs of smoke, is a reminder of the importance of water transport during the early 1900s. The barge, laden with goods, would have been a common sight on the Thames, contributing to the bustling commercial activity of the area. 6.
