This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the poignant ruins of Christ Church Greyfriars on King Edward Street in 1963. The image shows the roofless stone shell and arched windows of the Wren-designed church, which remained a ruin following the Blitz. In the foreground, a black Post Office Telephones van and a two-tone light blue and cream Bedford CA van are parked near a “No Entry” sign. To the right, the grand classical entrance of the former General Post Office building is visible, featuring an ornate crest above the archway. In the background, a massive modern office block under construction with scaffolding illustrates the rapid post-war redevelopment of the City of London. This digital download is a significant historical record of London’s architectural layers, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of atmospheric vintage wall art.
