EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of St. Giles, Cripplegate in London, circa 1884. The image, taken by Henry Dixon, showcases the stunning architecture of this historic building that has stood since its construction in 1394. The tower was added in 1682 and later restored after World War Two using plans from a reconstruction dating back to 1545. Now situated within the Barbican complex, St. Giles-Without-Cripplegate is a true relic of old London. This photograph is part of a series of 120 images documented by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London between 1875 and 1887. These photographs aimed to preserve buildings that were at risk of demolition. The eclectic mix of architectural styles can be seen in this image - from Victorian Gothic influences to vernacular elements that reflect the city's history. The bell tower stands tall against the backdrop of bustling streets, representing both strength and grace. As we gaze upon this picture, we are transported back to a time when urban landscapes were shaped by centuries-old structures like St. Giles, Cripplegate. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich heritage but also our responsibility to protect and cherish these historical landmarks for future generations to appreciate.
