THE THAMES EMBANKMENT, LOOKING EAST FROM WATERLOO BRIDGE, circa 1882. Compared with the 1868 photograph (see ANTE), this view shows the Norfolk Hotel and blocks of offices, etc., on the site of the private houses that stood behind the Temple Station, and the London School Board building (opened Sept., 1874) on the site of Gwynne's works. Beyond the Middle Temple Library appears the block of chambers, etc., erected in 1879 from the design of E. M: Barry and, farther on, the vacant site on the west of the newly erected City of London School (architects: Davis & Emanuel) whereon Sion College and Hamilton House and other buildings were erected. Near Temple Stairs is the training ship "Buzzard." Observe the growth of the trees since 1868 photograph was taken, the Brunel statue (erected 1877) and the small amount of road traffic, characteristic of the early Embankment. Photograph (supplied Feb., 1923) by Frith & Co. Copyright.
