Description: | Fishmongers' Hall beside London Bridge is home to one of the 12 great medieval livery companies in the City of London. This hall was bombed during the Blitz, on 9 September 1940, leaving it severely damaged.
Fortunately, the valuable works of art and records had been removed. The architect H Austen Hall eventually completed the restoration in 1951.
Edwin Smith took this photo to illustrate the blend of modernity and tradition in the City for the book 'The Living City', published by the Corporation of London in 1957. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Edwin Smith/RIBA Library | Subjects: | Cityscape Identity and Icons | Temporal: | c. 1957 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
