This spot was the first market of Montreal. Warehouses and docks surrounded it and merchants traded and sold goods. It also was the public execution space where people were hanged and killed. Apparently this was a very poplar attraction.
It was also the place where the 1701 treaty was signed with the Native American tribes. They had no written language so each tribe drew a symbol for their tribe. It is hard to see clearly but they range from Herons to peace pipes to lacrosse sticks and turtles. Much is made about this peace, probably in more rosy terms than in reality. It was one of the few treaties with Native Americans to have been honored and not broken. It was really a document of necessity since the French and the Native Americans were suffering horrible losses in continual tit-for-tat war with each other. The natives never officially ceded the lands that are now Canada (and here in the US) and they ultimately suffered terribly under colonial rule. As Americans we have no moral high ground either. The realities were that Europeans had more man and firepower and ultimately won the battles and force the Native Americans into submission. I often think what the world could have been if we had decided that this was their lands and we were visitors? IN the history of humanity no two civilizations ever met and shook hands and came to an equitable set of rules to live peacefully side by side. Ever since we roamed the planet as bands of familial units, whenever two met there was conflict as each was evolved to to view the other as a competitor for resources. As the tribe became bigger and more sophisticated the battles became larger and more destructive. Prior to the Europeans the Native Americans brutally fought one another constantly. Without judgement - this is just the way it was. And Europeans have little moral high ground here because even in the 1800s public executions still occurred to great fanfare and crowds in Europe. The so-called "savages" were no different. The Native peoples may have been able to fight back but after the Spanish came to South America and the Caribbean bringing diseases, to which the native peoples had no immunity, with them. Microbes don't respect boundaries and diseases seemed to have spread far into the American interior wiping out untold numbers of people leaving many of the places where Europeans would land..completely abandoned. Again imagine if history just once wasn't run by greedy supremacist people and people actually respected one another. I can dream I guess.

A wonderful execution to me is a pretty gruesome but scary photo. The beautiful colors and wallpaper, misguide you to what really is the concept of this photo. look closer... someone is about to be executed!

Visit to Museum of London Docklands to see the 'Executions' exhibition. The first publicly recorded executions at Tyburn was in 1196; the last public execution in 1868. By the end of the 18th century over 200 crimes were punishable by death.

Here, you can see the courtyard between two buildings. One building was used for the Cyclone B experiments (see other photo "Experiments"). At the far back stands the execution wall. The windows in the other building are covered because they didn't want the prisoners to see people being executed and become afraid. But as my tour guide mentioned, they could still hear the shots.

Richard Brandon was official hangman in 1949. It's not clear if he executed King Charles I - though this pamphlet claims to be his deathbed confession.
A tribute. He was shot because his hair was not red enough. Photography history! Can you name the original?

I wandered down to the bottom of this trench, stopped, turned around and looked out. Thought to myself, "This is the last sight that thousands of people saw before their death."
Walking out from the bottom of the trench also was shattering. Most of the people walking down this trench never walked out ever again.
This World Class attraction was everything we expected and more. Construction has just begun on a major expansion, but that has been managed in such a way that it does not in any way detract from the experience now.
This album focuses on the artwork inside the buildings and on the other interior spaces including the Eleven Restaurant and the Gift Shop. A separate album posted a few days ago is devoted to the two April mornings that we spent exploring just some of the trails that crisscross the 120 acres of Arkansas forest around the museum.
Alice Walton and her co-creative team can be proud of the vision and execution of everything on this 120 acre site.

Inside the future home of the New Museum of London
New Museum of London, West Smithfield
Sir Horace Jones (1883) and T P Bennett and Son (1963) New Museum of London scheme: Stanton Williams Architects Asif Khan Julian and Harrap Architects
In 2016, Stanton Williams and Asif Khan, working together with conservation architect Julian Harrap and landscape design consultants J&L Gibbons, were the winners of an international competition to find an architect to design the new Museum of London. The team was selected for their “innovative thinking, sensitivity to the heritage of the existing market buildings and understanding of practicalities of creating a great museum experience”.
The vision for the new Museum of London balances a crisp and contemporary design with a strong recognition of the physicality and power of the existing spaces of the West Smithfield site. The early stage concept includes a new lifted landmark dome which would create a beautiful light-filled entrance to the museum; innovative spiral escalators will transport visitors down to the exhibition galleries in a vast excavated underground chamber; flexible spaces are included that can serve as a new meeting place for London; and a centre for events and debate and a new sunken garden and green spaces to provide pockets of tranquillity.
Stanton Williams and Asif Khan are now working closely with the team at the Museum of London and the museum’s stakeholders including the GLA, City of London Corporation and the local Smithfield community to develop their initial concepts into a fully-formed vision for the new museum at West Smithfield.
Paul Williams, Director of Stanton Williams, said: “We are immensely excited about being given the opportunity to work with the Museum of London on this wonderfully challenging project – participating in an endeavour that will transform an area of London that has such a rich history, but sadly has been in decline for many years. Encountering the historic market spaces for the first time ... we were ‘blown away’ by the power and physicality already existing, and knew then, that whatever scheme we developed, this physicality needed to be harnessed, and not lost, and that initial observation has inspired our initial design proposals. This project will engage a broad community well beyond London.”
Asif Khan said: “To have a chance to create a new museum for London, in London, about London, at this moment in time is incredibly exciting for us. We all know the power of public spaces in changing our city and our individual lives, and this is what drives us. We want the Museum of London to be a museum where everyone belongs, and where the future of London is created.”

In 1860 the City of London obtained an Act of Parliament (The Metropolitan Meat and Poultry Market Act of 1860), allowing the construction of new buildings on the Smithfield site. Work began in 1866 on the two main sections of the market, the East and West Buildings. These buildings were built above railway lines which had newly connected London to every other part of the country, enabling meat to be delivered directly to the market.
The buildings, designed by City Architect Sir Horace Jones, were commissioned in 1866 and completed in November 1868 at a cost of £993,816. The Metropolitan Meat and Poultry Act also authorised the development of the Poultry Market which opened in 1875. This building was subsequently destroyed by a major fire in 1958 and was replaced by the current building in 1962. Further buildings were added to the market in later years, the General Market in 1883 and the Annexe Market in 1888.
