View From St Pauls Cathedral`1959-2013
Continuing from my previous shot...More incredible shot from the top of St Pauls and now looking North...The centrepiece is Christ Church Greyfriars another Christopher Wren beauty and it was severely damaged during the Blitz in 1940....The steeple still standing after the wartime damage, was disassembled in 1960 and put back together using modern construction methods. The surviving east wall was demolished in 1962 seen in the top photo.....The Tower is now used as a private residence.....The former HQ for the Post Office stands behind it was completed in 1911, it closed in 1996 and is now the Merrill Lynch HQ.....The roof of Smithfield market can also be seen in both photos..........
