The London Wall, a historical marvel that once encircled the ancient city of London, has stood as a testament to the city's rich and vibrant past. Dating back to the Roman era, this formidable structure was depicted in various forms throughout history. One such depiction can be found in the Agas Map of London from c1561. This detailed map showcases the eastern section of the wall near Smithfield, giving us a glimpse into its grandeur during that time. Similarly, another engraving titled "South West View of Bethlem Hospital and London Wall" offers an artistic portrayal of this iconic landmark. In John Thomas Smith's "Ancient Topography of London, " we are treated to an illustration showcasing parts of both the London Wall and Bethlem Hospital. This visual representation allows us to imagine what life was like within these historic walls. Sion College, located near Cripplegate along London Wall, adds another layer to this captivating narrative. Its presence signifies not only the importance of education but also how integral it was for institutions to be situated close to this magnificent barrier. During excavations after World War II at Cripplegate, a bastion from the historic London Wall was discovered. A black-and-white photograph captures this remarkable find and transports us back in time when these fortifications were crucial for protecting the city. Engravings such as "The Wall of Old London" and simply titled "London Wall" further immortalize this architectural wonder through artistry. These depictions serve as reminders that even though centuries have passed since its construction, its significance remains intact. A contemporary photograph aptly named "London Wall" showcases how elements of this ancient structure still exist today amidst modern surroundings. It serves as a reminder that while times may change, remnants from our past continue to shape our present landscape. Finally, Moorgate Street provides a glimpse into what lies beyond London Wall with its monochrome photo looking towards it.
