Cheapside, London

An image of Cheapside taken in 1910 shows the statue of Robert Peel still in situ (see my previous blog posts on ‘Cheapside’). Virtually all of the buildings (with the exception of the church) have disappeared between then, and the modern photograph. This was as a result of WWII bombing, and redevelopment in the post-war period. Credit: Photographer unknown
The same view in January 2020 shows the extent of the development in this area. Photograph: © Steven Miell (TimeViews)
