A beautiful view into the pre-policing world of 'Parish Watchmen'. I particularly like the water fountain, though the entire painting is very special indeed.

This painting by Charles William Wyllie depicts the Angel pub in #Rotherhithe, South #London (c.1887) [101 #Bermondsey Wall E, #London #SE16]. Like many riverside pubs, it was a den of cut-throats & press gangs. It sits on what was once the manor house of King Edward III (1300s).

Detail is everything...

This stunning painting by John Gendall depicts the 'View of (19th century) #London with St. Paul's Cathedral from the #Thames'. We can see the monument to the great fire and the heavily congested river that was once the world's motorway of commerce.
