EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the fortifications of Old St. Pancras, dating back to 1876. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. These fortifications were constructed during the Civil War at Brill Farm, near Old St. Pancras Church in London. As we gaze upon this aged aerial view, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history. The landscape is dotted with fields and farmland, stretching towards the horizon where hillsides rise majestically against the sky. Intriguingly, Somers Town would be built on this very site some hundred and twenty years later - a testament to how history intertwines with modernity. The monochrome composition adds depth and character to the scene while emphasizing every intricate detail of these ancient structures. We see people scattered throughout the frame; men and women going about their daily lives amidst these historic surroundings. Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" provides valuable insights into the rich heritage that lies within this photograph. This image serves as a poignant reminder of Britain's past - a visual representation of our country's resilience and enduring spirit through centuries gone by.
