I find it remarkable that structures like Temple Bar could be relocated in those time and so many times. Marble Arch is another fine example, which I think houses the smallest Police Station (POST) in the Met.
Most enjoyable on this gloomy winter’s day

I recently purchased Lost London 1870-1945 by Phillip Davies, and it mentioned the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London, and a google search showed your website which I have found fascinating.

London.

When I read a book set in London I try to map
it out on Google. Amazing fun.

THANK YOU!
