EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Lambeth Shot Tower in all its industrial glory. Standing tall against the London skyline, this iconic tower is a testament to the city's rich history of manufacturing. The photograph, taken by S. W. Rawlings between 1945 and 1950, showcases the tower from an intriguing perspective - as seen from the river. Intriguingly, this particular shot also reveals the site clearing on the south bank of the river, which was being prepared for a momentous event - none other than the Festival of Britain in 1951. This grand exhibition celebrated British achievements in art, science, technology, and industry after World War II. Built in 1826 as part of a lead works facility, this shot tower remained at its original location until after the conclusion of the Festival of Britain. Its towering presence undoubtedly played a significant role during that time period. S. W. Rawlings skillfully captured not only architectural details but also conveyed a sense of historical significance through his lens. This print serves as a visual reminder of London's industrial past and its transformation into a hub for cultural celebrations like no other.
