This authentic 1950s colour photograph captures the historic headquarters of the Metropolitan Police, known as New Scotland Yard, in 1956. Located on Derby Gate, the image features the North Building, designed by architect Richard Norman Shaw and completed in 1890. The striking Victorian architecture is characterised by its striped red brick and Portland stone bands, with a prominent circular corner turret. In the foreground, the bustling street scene shows civil servants and police officers in period attire, alongside a local corner building featuring a neon “Cafe Snacks” sign and a “Dive Bar.” The famous bridge connecting the North and South buildings is visible spanning the street in the background. This archival print is an exceptional resource for those interested in British police history, mid-century London, or to print for yourself as a unique piece of nostalgic wall art.
