The Old Churches of London. Cover page from 'The Old Churches of London' (1942) by the British antiquary and architectural historian Gerald Cobb (1900–1986). This book,which documented the history of London's churches,was first printed in 1941 and reprinted in several further editions in subsequent years. The bridge shown here is Old London Bridge,famous for the houses and shops that had been built on it since it was built in 1209. The houses were eventually cleared in the period 1758-1762. The tall monument behind the bridge,on the northern banks of the River Thames,is the Monument to the Great Fire of London,completed in 1677 | |
