EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Old Watch House on Upper Thames Street in London, dating back to April 1922. The architectural features of this early 20th-century building are beautifully showcased through its grand archway and sturdy structure. Standing tall amidst a bustling avenue, it serves as a reminder of the city's rich history. Once serving as a police station, this iconic landmark holds significant historical value within the Greater London Council (GLC) area. Its location near Guildhall Library and Art Gallery adds to its cultural importance, attracting visitors from all walks of life. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless charm of this photograph, transporting us back to the roaring twenties when horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but wonder about the stories that unfolded behind those doors throughout the years. Preserved by London County Council (LCC), this picture is not just an architectural marvel; it represents an era long gone yet immortalized through photography. It stands as a testament to both craftsmanship and resilience against time's relentless march forward. As we admire this snapshot frozen in history, let us appreciate how our urban landscape has evolved while cherishing these remnants of our past that continue to shape our present-day cityscape.
