Description: | This photograph was taken from St. Paul's Cathedral looking East down Cannon Street towards Tower Bridge. In this image, we can see the rooftops of the Eastern part of the City as it was before being partly destroyed in the Blitz. Of particular note are Cannon Street Station, which dominates the middle distance and was built in 1866 for terminating South-Eastern Railway trains, and the Church of St. Mary Aldermary, which was rebuilt by Christopher Wren following the Great Fire, and whose tower can be seen to the left of Cannon Street. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | London and Middlesex Archaeological Society | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | c1910 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
