Description: | This photograph shows two towers of the Palace of Westminster in the distance by night. In the centre of the picture is the silhouette of the Victoria Tower, the tallest tower in the Palace. To the left is the Clock Tower, better known by the name of its bell, Big Ben. This image gives us a view down Whitehall when the streetlamps are lit. Whitehall has long been central to the government of Britain, and its name has become synonymous with the government departments which lie along its length. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | London and Middlesex Archaeological Society | Subjects: | Power and Politics Cityscape | Temporal: | c1910 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
