This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the timeless silhouette of the Elizabeth Tower, housing Big Ben, as seen from Parliament Square in 1966. The iconic Gothic Revival clock tower rises majestically against a bright sky, with the clock face clearly visible. In the foreground, the street scene is filled with quintessential mid-century British transport, including a black Austin FX4 taxi and a distinctive yellow Automobile Association (AA) Land Rover service vehicle. To the left, the ornate roofline of the buildings along Bridge Street and the leafy trees of the square provide a rich textural backdrop, while the corner of a wooden-panelled Austin Mini Traveller is visible in the lower-left frame. Pedestrians in mid-sixties summer attire stroll past the decorative white bollards that line the perimeter of the New Palace Yard. This digital download is an evocative record of London’s most famous landmark, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of historic urban wall art.
