A 1960s colour photo of the West Front of Westminster Abbey illuminated at night in 1968. The image highlights the intricate Gothic detail of the twin towers, which were famously designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor and completed in 1745. Scaffolding is visible across sections of the facade, indicating the extensive restoration and cleaning programmes undertaken during the latter half of the 20th century to preserve the Abbey’s limestone exterior from the effects of London’s air pollution. In the foreground, the Westminster School Column (the Crimea and Indian Mutiny Memorial) stands tall, while the streaks of light from passing vehicles and the warm glow of period street lamps capture the quiet, historic atmosphere of the Sanctuary after dark.
