Taken from St. Paul's first gallery during a weekday lunch break, pretty sure it was with an Exa IIb and Meyer Domiplan lens but it might have been a Yashica J35 and 50mm Yashinon lens. Note the "heavy" traffic and abandon your car here parking system. Quite a lot of places have actually been rebuilt but there is still a long way to go. If I remember correctly land in the City in 1958 was valued at £144 per sq. ft. I suspect its rather more now.

The first photo shows Blackfriar's Bridge, I used to work in the street running back from the bridge by the curved building, I think all the river barges have given way to containers now.

Very cool series! It's really interesting to see old photos, let alone compare old with new.

These are all historically meaningful photos.

Fascinating look at the past.
