EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in British history as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II lays the foundation stone for Lloyd's new building on Lime Street in November 1952. Dressed in a stylish coat and hat, the young Queen, who had only ascended to the throne following the death of her father King George VI earlier that year, holds a trowel filled with mortar, ready to make the symbolic first mark in the construction of the new structure. The scene is set against the backdrop of the bustling city street, with onlookers gathered to witness the royal event. The 1950s fashion, the traditional building process, and the sense of optimism and renewal in the aftermath of World War II all contribute to the timeless charm of this image. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a significant moment in the history of the monarchy and the rebuilding of post-war Britain.
