Triumphal Arch Moved from Hyde Park to Constitution Hill, c1935. Creator: Unknown
Triumphal Arch Moved from Hyde Park to Constitution Hill, c1935. View of the Wellington Arch, a triumphal arch in central London. It was designed by Decimus Burton and built 1826-1830, and once supported an equestrian statue of the 1st Duke of Wellington. This was removed when the arch was dismantled and re-erected between 1883 and 1888. Hyde Park Corner had become notorious for traffic jams, and a new road layout required the arch to be relocated. The sculpture of the quadriga, an ancient four-horse chariot, was designed by Adrian Jones and has been mounted on the Arch since 1912. The southern pier was used as a park-keeper?s residence and the northern pier as a police station. From " Wonderful London, Volume 2", edited by Arthur St John Adcock. [The Fleetway House, London, c1935]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Triumphal Arch, originally located in Hyde Park, as it is being moved to Constitution Hill in central London during the 1930s. Designed by Decimus Burton and built between 1826 and 1830, this magnificent arch once supported an equestrian statue of the renowned 1st Duke of Wellington. However, due to traffic congestion at Hyde Park Corner, a new road layout necessitated its relocation. The image showcases the architectural beauty of the Wellington Arch with its neoclassical design. The quadriga sculpture on top of the arch, depicting a four-horse chariot, was created by Adrian Jones and has adorned the structure since 1912. Interestingly, one pier served as a park-keeper's residence while another functioned as a police station. Published in "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock around 1935, this photograph offers us a glimpse into both historical and architectural significance. It portrays an era when transportation infrastructure was evolving to accommodate growing urban needs. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how our cities have transformed over centuries - adapting to changing circumstances while preserving iconic structures that symbolize our shared heritage.
