EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London in the early 20th century. The image showcases the iconic Peoples Palace, now known as the Queens Building at Queen Mary University of London (QMLU), located on Mile End Road. Designed by E. R. Robson in 1886, this architectural masterpiece stood tall as a symbol of education and community for over a century. However, tragedy struck when a devastating fire ravaged the building in 1931. Undeterred by adversity, it was rebuilt with great care and attention to detail by Campbell-Jones and Smithers. The photograph beautifully captures not only the grandeur of this historic structure but also offers a glimpse into daily life during that era. People can be seen strolling along the street, showcasing their fashionable attire from that time period. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how buildings like these have witnessed countless stories unfold within their walls throughout history. They serve as silent witnesses to progress, resilience, and human connection. This remarkable image is an invaluable piece of our collective memory - a testament to both architectural brilliance and societal evolution. It serves as a visual reminder that even after enduring hardships or undergoing transformations over time, landmarks like QMLU's Queens Building continue to stand strong while nurturing generations of knowledge seekers within its hallowed halls.
