Here is a mother lode of English photographs.
photoLondon
London's libraries, museums and archives possess a treasure house of modern and historic photographs of London. The photoLondon website exists to highlight and promote these collections.
The Oxford Arms was one of the seventeenth- century galleried coaching inns rendered obsolete by the railways. It was demolished soon after this photograph was taken. The Society for Photographing Relics of Old London (SPROL) was a far-thinking amateur body created to record London's threatened historic buildings. Much of this heritage was lost in the Victorian period. There are 120 photographs in the series, a key set of images of Victorian London.
