EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of London in October 1962. The iconic Westminster Bridge stretches across the River Thames, offering a picturesque view towards the majestic Houses of Parliament and Whitehall. However, on this particular day, chaos ensued as the NUR strike brought all trains into the capital to a halt. In this historic snapshot captured by George Greenwell, we are transported to an era where strikes were not uncommon, yet they added an air of tension and uncertainty to daily life. Despite the disruption caused by the strike, one cannot help but admire the grandeur of London's landmarks that stand tall in defiance. The towering Big Ben stands proudly amidst its surroundings, marking time with its resounding chimes. The Houses of Parliament and Palace of Westminster exude power and authority as they overlook both political affairs and passing river traffic alike. And just beyond lies Buckingham Palace, home to royalty steeped in tradition. As we gaze upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, it serves as a reminder that even during times of turmoil or unrest, London remains steadfast in its allure. Its rich history is etched into every brick and cobblestone lining these streets. Let this photograph transport you back in time to witness a moment frozen within London's vibrant tapestry - a testament to resilience amid adversity.
