'Temple Bar and St. Dunstan's Church', c1750, (1945). View of Fleet Street in the City of London, with the medieval church of St Dunstan-in-the-West in the centre. It was demolished in the 19th century. At the start of the 16th century, Fleet Street became known as the centre of printing and publishing in London. By the 20th century, most British national newspapers had offices here. Many of the newspapers moved out in the 1980s after cheaper manufacturing began in Wapping.
