Aldgate Bethnal Grub Monks Montage Prominent
EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian montage, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich architectural history of Aldgate in East London during the late 19th century. The image features a meticulously composed arrangement of prominent buildings that once graced this historic area. At the heart of the scene lies Whittington's House, a striking edifice with its ornate facade and distinctive chimneys. The house, named after the legendary Lord Mayor of London, Sir Richard Whittington, has long been a symbol of Aldgate's storied past. Adjacent to Whittington's House, the montage reveals Grub Street, a once notorious and impoverished literary quarter, where many writers and journalists lived and worked. The narrow street, lined with modest houses and shops, was a hub of creativity and artistic expression during the Victorian era. To the left, the General Monks House, with its red-brick exterior and intricate detailing, stands proudly. This elegant building was named after the Monks family, who were prominent landowners and merchants in Aldgate. Further in the distance, the remains of Aldgate and Bethnal Green can be seen, serving as a poignant reminder of the area's past destruction and rebirth. The ruins of Aldgate, a medieval gateway and fortification, were largely demolished during the 18th and 19th centuries to make way for new development. Bloomfields House, with its elegant balconies and grand arches, completes the montage. This magnificent building, located on the site of the former Blooms Gardens, was a testament to the area's prosperity and architectural ambition during the Victorian era. This evocative montage not only showcases the architectural beauty and diversity of Aldgate during the Victorian era but also offers a fascinating glimpse into the area's rich history and cultural significance.
