EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of London's history that has long been forgotten - the ten city gates that once stood proudly before their demolition. Each gate, from Bishopshate to Templebar, represented a different era in the city's rich past, with their crenellated walls and towering turrets standing as symbols of strength and protection.
The image transports us back to the 18th century when these gates were still intact, guarding the bustling streets of London against potential threats. The windmill in the background serves as a reminder of simpler times when agriculture was still prevalent within the city limits.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when London was a maze of winding lanes and hidden alleyways protected by formidable gates. The looming presence of Ludgate and Cripplegate reminds us of the power they once held over those seeking entrance into the heart of England's capital.
Although these gates may have been demolished long ago, their legacy lives on through images like this one from Mary Evans Picture Library. It serves as a poignant reminder of London's ever-changing landscape and its enduring spirit throughout centuries past.
