Fleet Street, London EC4 - 1962

            Looking towards Ludgate Circus and St. Pauls Cathedral - May 1962.

Buildings still showing their 'war time' grime. Modern architecture was taking over as can be seen on the bomb site above Ludgate Circus. Smokeless fuel had just been mandated for the London area, following the disastrous smogs of the 1950's, most buildings still had to be cleaned by sand blasting.
Fleet Street was then known as 'the street of ink', the principal offices and printing of the major British newspapers were located here. The building with the clock at the left housed the 'Daily Telegraph', the 'Daily Express' was almost next door.
