EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back in time to the 1880s, offering a unique aerial perspective of Lewisham Methodist Church and Sunday School. The image was captured from a gas balloon, providing an extraordinary view of this Victorian-era church located on Albion Road in Lewisham, Greater London. The church itself, built in 1870, stands proudly amidst its surroundings. Its architectural beauty is evident even from above, showcasing intricate details and craftsmanship that were characteristic of the era. The adjacent Sunday School building also catches our attention with its charming design. However, history took a devastating turn for this beloved place of worship during World War II when it fell victim to a bomb attack in 1944. Sadly, due to extensive damage caused by the bombing raid, the church was later demolished. Preserved within this photograph is not only a visual record of an important historical structure but also a testament to resilience and change over time. It serves as a reminder that buildings may come and go but their significance lives on through documentation like these lantern slides dating from 1882-1892. Thanks to efforts by organizations such as Historic England Archive, we can appreciate glimpses into our past and gain deeper insights into how our cities have evolved throughout history.
