Description
Images of working Londoners from the capital’s past – from the 15th century to Thatcherite Britain - features in this open air exhibition in the Guildhall Yard.
The display brings together a wide range of photographs, prints and drawings – many of them displayed for the first time - from London Metropolitan Archives (LMA), which is owned and managed by the City of London Corporation.
Jack Black of Battersea, Queen Victoria’s rat catcher, and Charles Rouse, believed to be the last night-watchman in 19th-century London, feature alongside page boys at the Savoy Hotel, a brick dust seller, labourers on the Barbican Estate, a farrier in 1980s Deptford, and a 15th-century Lord Mayor.
The identities of most of those featured are unknown, but were recorded because of the work that they carried out and the service that they gave to the capital and their fellow Londoners.
