EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1936, offering a glimpse into the industrial landscape of Lambeth, Greater London. Standing tall and proud in the center is the iconic Lambeth Shot Tower, a marvel of Georgian architecture designed by David Ridall Roper in 1826. This towering structure served as an integral part of the Lambeth Lead Works owned by Thomas Maltby & Co. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only the grandeur of the shot tower but also significant changes taking place around it. On the left side, we see workers diligently demolishing the old Waterloo Bridge, which had been an essential link across River Thames since its opening in 1817. The demolition process offers a stark contrast against both historical landmarks. Adding another layer to this scene is a rowing boat gracefully crossing the river in front of our eyes. It serves as a reminder that amidst all these man-made structures and progress, water transport still played an important role in daily life during that era. Sadly, this picturesque view would soon change forever. In 1962, over two decades after this photograph was taken, Lambeth Shot Tower met its demise to make way for Queen Elizabeth Hall's construction. However fleeting their existence may have been physically; these historic landmarks continue to live on through photographs like Charles William Prickett's remarkable capture from Historic England archives
