Located in Queen Victoria Street, London EC4 and also known as Heralds’ College. The institution works on behalf of the Crown in all matters of heraldry, including the granting of coats of arms. It is an ancient organisation, an enduring survival from the brief and turbulent reign of King Richard III. The College’s building dates from the late 17th century, replacing one destroyed in the Great Fire of London. Robert Adam designed a new base for the college that would have relocated it to near Trafalgar Square in the 1820s, but the building was never constructed because of a lack of funds. The College survived World War II unscathed, but was in poor repair for some years afterwards. Subsequent repairs also led to the provision of new gates, installed as per the inscription in 1956. They came from Goodrich Court in Herefordshire and display the College’s own coat of arms.
Many Thanks To

The most classic (i.e. over-captured) view of the Millennium Bridge and St. Paul's Cathedral.
I'm standing in Southwark south of the Thames, London, SE1; but St. Paul's is in the City, London EC4.

As I mentioned earlier, my meetup with Romboid was a last-minute arrangement. We ended up meeting at the Tower Bridge and walked along the Bankside and Riverside (southern bank of the Thames). That by itself was another serendipity. I had sort of wanted to explore Southwark and Lambeth, but dropped the plan as my itinerary became much too cramped. But thanks to Gerry, I ended up doing the very pleasant riparian walk after all and with a local friend!

You may be familiar with Dr Samuel Johnson. Amongst his other attributes, he was an English writer who undertook the task of compiling the first English language dictionary in 1746 and it was finally published, in 1755.
He was also depicted as a rather pompous gentleman by Robbie Coltrane, in the fabulous comedy, Blackadder the Third.

This is an A & G Taylor’s Reality series of Pictorial Postcards Postcard; the company held the Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria and were one of the oldest UK postcard manufacturers of the time. The postcard dates to 1905 and Mr. Charles McCallon Alexander poses for a photograph and about to take a Hansom Cab outside the offices of “The Christian Herald” newspaper at 6, Tudor Street, EC4 in the City of London. Mr. Alexander was an American Gospel singer, Composer and Evangelist in the Moody and Sankey tradition. He was in London as part of a world tour together with his partner, Dr. Reuben Archer Torrey and held meetings and services at the Albert Hall. In 1905 the newspaper ran a series of articles about the Alexander/Torrey mission and this is probably why he was snapped outside their offices. “The Christian Herald” was a weekly newspaper, originally founded in 1874 to report on and support the Moody and Sankey Evangelical mission to the UK. The newspaper went out of business in 2006. In 1904, Charles Alexander married Helen Cadbury, one of the chocolate Cadburys, he continued with his world tours until 1918 when he retired to Birmingham where he died in 1920. There is a fine figure of a City of London Police Constable on the right.
