EDITORS COMMENTS
Westminster Abbey, London - Viewed from the End of Whitehall, Circa 1910 This photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a stunning view of Westminster Abbey from the end of Whitehall, across Parliament Square. The iconic Gothic architecture of the Abbey stands proudly against the backdrop of a bustling London scene. The image is filled with a sense of history and tradition, as the Abbey, the coronation church of England since 1066, has borne witness to the crowning of every monarch since William the Conqueror. The Abbey's towering spires and intricate stonework are a testament to the enduring significance of this spiritual and historical landmark. The photograph also captures the vibrant energy of London's streets in the early 1900s. A taxicab and several buses, including an open-top double-decker omnibus, can be seen at the busy junction of Whitehall and Parliament Street. The route number 21 is clearly visible on the side of one of the buses, adding a sense of time and place to the scene. The traffic in the photograph is a mix of horse-drawn carriages and automobiles, reflecting the transition from horse-drawn transportation to the motor age. The cars, with their elegant designs and sleek lines, are a striking contrast to the horses and carriages that still dominate the streets. The photograph also features St. Margaret's Church, located at the eastern end of Westminster Abbey. The church, with its distinctive red brick exterior and white stone trim, adds to the visual richness of the scene and further emphasizes the historical significance of the area. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into London's past, capturing the beauty and energy of the city over a century ago.
