EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Strand Shop, a historic fish establishment located next to Temple Bar in London. Established in the reign of Henry VIII around the year 1540, this venerable business has witnessed centuries of history unfold on the bustling streets of England's capital city. The Strand Shop, as depicted in this circa 1840 print from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring tradition of fishmongers in London. With its wooden barrels brimming with fresh catches and the colorful array of fish laid out on the table, the shop exudes an authentic and inviting atmosphere. Temple Bar, the imposing gateway arch in the background, adds to the sense of history and grandeur. Originally built in the late 16th century, the bar served as the western entrance to the city of London until it was moved to its current location in 1878. The Strand Shop's proximity to Temple Bar, a popular gathering place for travelers and locals alike, would have made it a hub of activity during Henry VIII's reign and beyond. The shop's long history and connection to the city's rich past make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in London's history and culture. This evocative print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Strand Shop was a thriving business and Temple Bar was a symbol of London's strength and resilience. A true treasure for history buffs and anglophiles alike, this image is a reminder of the enduring allure of London's past and the stories that lie hidden within its streets.
