EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of The Steel Yard and its surrounding neighbourhood in 1540s London. Located on the north bank of the River Thames near the outflow of the Walbrook, this historic site is now covered by Cannon Street station, with only Steelyard Passage serving as a reminder of its past glory.
The image showcases a bustling scene with wooden buildings lining the riverbank, giving us a glimpse into daily life during this period. The intricate details of the architecture and layout provide valuable insight into how people lived and worked in one of London's most important trading hubs.
As we study this snapshot from centuries ago, we can almost hear the sounds of merchants haggling over goods and ships arriving to unload their cargo. It serves as a poignant reminder of London's rich history as a center for commerce and trade.
This print is not just a visual representation but also a window into the past, allowing us to connect with our ancestors who once walked these same streets. It is a testament to how far we have come while honoring those who came before us.
