The Old Fountain Inn - A Glimpse into London's Architectural Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the late 18th century, capturing the essence of "The Old Fountain Inn" in the Minories, City of London. Although its creator remains unknown, this image offers a remarkable glimpse into British history. Originally built in 1798 and later reconstructed around 1872, The Old Fountain Inn was an ancient inn that witnessed centuries of bustling activity. Situated on a picturesque avenue lined with charming buildings, it stood as a testament to England's rich architectural heritage. Walter Thornbury's renowned publication "Old and New London" provides valuable insights into this iconic establishment. Its narrative recounts stories of the inn's vibrant past – tales of locals and travelers alike seeking respite within its walls. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we can almost imagine the lively conversations and clinking glasses that once filled these streets. The photo captures not only the exterior beauty but also hints at the occupations and professions that thrived here. It serves as a reminder that behind every building lies countless stories waiting to be discovered. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, this print allows us to appreciate both George Walter Thornbury's historical account and the craftsmanship involved in capturing such moments for posterity. Let us cherish this visual time capsule as it connects us with our cultural roots while reminding us of how far we have come.
