Demolition of Temple Bar, London, 1878. 'The last of Temple Bar - sketched on Saturday January 12, 1878'. Scene showing the steam-powered crane being used to help dismantle the stonework. This incarnation of Temple Bar (the gate between the Cities of London and Westminster) was constructed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1672. It was removed in order to widen the road. A reconstruction using much of the original stonework can now be seen at Paternoster Square. From the Mayson Beeton Collection.
