The Oxford Arms, Warwick Lane, 1875
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the architectural beauty of a bygone era. In this photograph by Alfred and John Bool, we are transported back to late 19th century London. The image reveals The Oxford Arms, a coaching inn that had been rebuilt after the Great Fire of London in 1666. Sadly, its fate was sealed as it faced demolition in 1878. This photo is part of a series commissioned by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London between 1875-87. Its purpose was to document endangered buildings like The Oxford Arms. Despite its dilapidated state at the time of capture, one can still appreciate the grandeur and historical significance of this landmark structure. With its galleried galleries and distinctive dome-shaped facade, The Oxford Arms stands as a testament to Victorian architecture. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn towards St Paul's Cathedral towering majestically in the background. It serves as a reminder that even amidst urban development and restoration efforts taking place during that period, remnants of old London were still visible. This photograph not only preserves an important piece of English heritage but also highlights the power photography holds in capturing fleeting moments before they disappear forever into oblivion.
