Royal Academy of ArtsRelics of Old London: Photography and the Spirit of the City

Prompted by the imminent demolition of an old London inn near St Paul's, the Society for the Photographing of Relics of Old London set about using photography as a means of
documenting buildings that represented old London threatened with destruction. This exhibition presents a selection of these photographs from the 1870s and 1880s by A. & J. Bool and,
later, Henry Dixon & Son which capture some of the buildings
and streets which were legacies from earlier centuries.

There is also an opportunity for members of the public to submit their own photographs via our Flickr group.
